Help Us Stand Beside Willow
On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, our world turned upside down. That was the day our bright, playful, and loving Willow was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-Cell). In just 72 hours, she underwent surgeries, endured countless tests, and received her first round of chemotherapy.
She spent seven long days in the hospital, and while we are now home, the road ahead is a marathon — two and a half years of treatments, hospital visits, and battles both big and small.
Willow’s courage amazes us every single day. She still smiles, she still laughs, and she still dreams — but she needs an army of love and support around her.
Here’s how you can help Willow right now:
- Choose a Support Registry option – every gift meets a real need during treatment.
- Share this page – your share could reach the person who makes the next miracle happen.
- Follow for updates – walk this journey with us, and celebrate every win along the way.
Your generosity will help cover the extra costs that come with fighting childhood cancer — travel to the hospital, special meals, comfort items, and the everyday needs that don’t stop for cancer.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for standing with Willow. Together, we can lift some of the weight so she can focus on what she does best: being a kid.
