💖 Support Joss Through Her Fight with Leukemia
On September 28th, our lives quietly and profoundly changed when our fiesty little Joss was diagnosed with Pre B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). It’s the kind of moment no parent ever imagines living through. Yet here we are, learning to navigate a world that looks completely different than it did just weeks ago.
It began simply — an ache in Joss’ arm, a low fever, restless nights. What we thought was growing pains quickly spiraled into exhaustion, high fevers, and a gut feeling that something was deeply wrong. After multiple doctor visits and sleepless nights, we got the news that changed everything - Her bloodwork wasn’t normal. Her white count was dangerously high. We needed to get to Levine Children’s Hospital immediately.
At the hospital, after endless tests and an MRI, three doctors sat us down in a small room. The MRI didn’t show an infection — it showed something else. Something far worse. That’s when we heard the words that split us into, “Your daughter has leukemia.”
I felt like I was watching this moment happen to someone else. But it was me. It was us. It was her. Our brave, kindhearted Joss now faces an intense treatment plan that will stretch across months and years. Chemo. Procedures. Hospital stays. Days that blur into nights as her little body fights for healing.
The emotional toll on our family is indescribable — and the physical and financial impact is staggering. Some daily treatments can cost up to $25,000, and monthly totals can easily reach upwards of $100,000. To make things even harder, Joss is currently uninsured, leaving the family to shoulder unimaginable costs while trying to be present for every procedure, every tear, and every tiny moment of hope.
This diagnosis doesn’t just affect Joss. It touches every part of family life — the sleepless nights, the workdays missed, the emotional exhaustion that hangs in the air even when we’re smiling for her. It takes a village to hold a family up through something like this. And that’s where you come in.
