Just two weeks before being admitted to the hospital, Liza learned how to ride a bicycle. Even now, despite the challenges of treatment, she is still an active little girl. Whenever she feels a bit better, she wants to go outside, jump, and run.

Despite her young age, Liza already knows a lot about her illness or “the little worm in my blood,” as she calls it. She might ask:

“Mom, what are my white blood cell counts today?”

If the results are good, she asks:

“Does that mean I’ll get my chemotherapy today?”

If they’re low, she sighs:

“Oh… I guess I’ll have another shot.”

Liza’s mother is raising her on her own. At the hospital, she works on her laptop whenever she can — during the day, late at night, whenever a quiet moment appears.

When a child is seriously ill, coping with everyday life becomes incredibly difficult. 

Help families like Liza’s worry less about covering the cost of medicines and medical tests, and focus on what matters most — their child’s treatment and recovery.

Your support helps ensure they have everything they need throughout treatment.
