In Their Words
"No one in my family had ever had cancer. When you hear about it, it is totally different than when it actually hits your family - especially a toddler. I still think about it and am still nervous about it. That's my little angel. That's my hope. He's a strong little boy.
CancerCare helped me out with medical bills that I had to pay, along with the transportation to vision therapy. If it wasn't for that I don't know what I would have done. I'm still struggling as a single parent, but they have helped and I'm very grateful."
