Leah is a 4-year-old girl from KY who was diagnosed with x2 Relapsed High-Risk B-cell infantile Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia s/p BMT in November of 2019.

She has faced unimaginable challenges in her young life. She cherishes her family and has a special bond with her aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

Leah, once a healthy baby, faced a drastic turn in her health at seven months old, leading to a diagnosis of High-Risk B-cell infantile Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This sudden and agonizing news transformed her from a happy, healthy child to a fragile one. Her treatment journey included numerous chemotherapy rounds, a bone marrow transplant, dual CarT therapy trials, and a stem cell transplant across different hospitals. She endured multiple relapses, PICU stays, and various medical procedures, experiencing severe complications like swollen organs, severe anemia, and critically low hemoglobin levels.

Leah Faith had infantile ALL, a more challenging and intense form of the disease. Her mom faced a tough journey alongside her.

That's why we're on a mission to raise $5000 to fund a dream trip for Leah and her family, offering an exclusive opportunity to experience Disney and Give Kids the World. This unique journey will enable them to create new, joyful moments in a different setting, providing a break from their current hardships!

Kyleigh is a 7-year-old girl from North Dinwiddie, VA, who was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in June of 2022.

Kyleigh, a vibrant and adventurous individual, enjoyed various activities like going to the park, shopping, trampoline fun and being a cheerleader before her diagnosis. She had to stop cheerleading due to treatment. Her interests now include riding horses, trying hip-hop dance, and soccer.

The discovery of a lump on her left forearm, accompanied by unexplained fevers, led to the diagnosis of Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of cancer. Finding suitable treatment and doctors familiar with this cancer was difficult, significantly impacting the family's lifestyle. This resulted in a change where a parent left their job to care for Kyleigh and their other children, switching to homeschooling.

Since the diagnosis of stage 3 Rhabdomyosarcoma in June 2022, Kyleigh began chemotherapy in July, lasting for nine months, along with 33 radiation sessions and surgery to remove the tumor from her arm. Currently, she's undergoing a 6-month maintenance chemotherapy phase, with upcoming scans in November.

That is why we are on a mission to raise $1,000 to provide Kyleigh with a joyful experience of a Disney-themed birthday party as she approaches her 9th birthday in December. This celebration aims to create precious moments for Kyleigh, offering a temporary escape from her challenges and filling her heart with warmth and hope!

Abby is an 8-year-old girl from Richmond, VA, who was diagnosed with Niemann Pick Type C in March 2019.

Abby's journey to diagnosis was challenging due to the rarity of her disease. She was born healthy with no initial red flags but started showing symptoms of gallbladder and liver issues, leading to an initial misdiagnosis that persisted for several years. It was only after seeking a second opinion at CHOP and later consulting a metabolic specialist that Abby was finally diagnosed with Niemann Pick Type C (NPC). The diagnosis revealed that her entire family carried the genetic disorder.

To manage her condition, Abby entered a trial medication program at the National Children's Hospital, involving spinal infusions every two weeks. She also attends numerous appointments in various locations, including Chicago, Maryland, and D.C., and undergoes regular therapy. Abby requires assistance with walking and understanding her needs.

Abby's diagnostic journey underscores the importance of finding the right doctor at the right hospital to fully understand her symptoms and provide her with the correct diagnosis and challenging prognosis.

Her family holds onto the hope that the medication received through a spinal infusion every other week, 2 hours from her home, will keep her disease progressing slowly. NPC has no cure, so they take each day as it comes.

Her dad said, “She would just be happy with nearly anything. She always talks about going to Disney World. She dreams of being a YouTube star, too. She loves to talk about traveling to another country to see a castle.”

Our goal is to gather $5,000 to send Abby and her family on a magical journey to Disney World and Give Kids the World. This incredible experience will let them cherish moments of joy in a place where their current challenges can momentarily fade away, filling their hearts with warmth and hope!

Isaac is a 15-year-old boy from Ramsey, MN, who was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome in September 2018.

Before diagnosis, he was very caring and thoughtful. He's also really funny with a quirky sense of humor. He enjoys making funny videos with friends, cracking jokes and especially loves sharing dad jokes.

Isaac has faced ongoing challenges with his immune system, coping with a difficult CAPS diagnosis that caused various childhood symptoms. Over time, he developed muscle weakness, affecting his daily life. In 2022, he was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, impacting muscle control and leading to multiple instances of respiratory failure, necessitating ICU admissions and extended ventilator use. Isaac not only has Myasthenia Gravis but also significant hearing loss in one ear and profound loss in the other. Moreover, he deals with gastroparesis, affecting his food digestion. To manage this, he travels from Minnesota to California every 6-8 weeks for a sedated procedure, essential for nutrient absorption. His health conditions have led to complications.

His mom said, “I explain it to people sometimes like it feels like there's, you know, sometimes when you get a tornado that's big enough, it'll spin up these side tornadoes, kind of, that's how it feels that we have this big tornado.” Isaac should be driving by now, but his health condition prevents it. The family has had to cancel many vacations and miss important events like holidays due to medical commitments. Last year, during his older sister's wedding, Isaac was in the PICU on a ventilator, highlighting the unfortunate timing of his hospitalizations. This emphasizes how frequently he is hospitalized.

That is why we’re on a mission to raise $10,000 to fund a special trip for Isaac and his family to Hawaii. This journey will offer them a chance to make happy memories in a different setting, providing a break from their current challenges!

Cye is a 4-year-old boy from Albuquerque, New Mexico, diagnosed with High-Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in May 2023.

Before his diagnosis, Cye enjoyed outdoor activities, dancing, singing, family vacations, swimming, playing with toys, and spending time with his siblings and friends. He was energetic, cheerful, funny, and talkative and had an impressive knowledge of dinosaurs.

However, when he started experiencing symptoms like knee pain, fatigue, a low appetite, sudden bruises, refusal to walk, pale skin, and swollen lymph nodes behind his head, his mom took him to the Emergency Room. His mom initially thought he had a cold but felt something was wrong. After a second opinion at urgent care, they rushed to the main hospital, where he was diagnosed with High-Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Since being diagnosed, Cye has had difficulty walking and developed neuropathy. He deals with fatigue, nausea, weight fluctuations, and changes in appetite. He also experiences sporadic physical pain and emotional ups and downs, missing his family and friends and the ability to enjoy outings.

Cye has a strong passion for dinosaurs and superheroes, using their courage as inspiration when facing fears. He often says, "I'll be strong like Hulk!" and "I'm tough like a T-Rex."

Cye has undergone extensive medical treatments, including chemotherapy, transfusions, and procedures, leading to isolation, hospital stays, and side effects requiring medication adjustments.

His mom said, “This dream would be a chance to experience joy and give him a light amid what he has to endure. It would allow us to let go of our current stresses, anxieties, and fears and enjoy the smiles on each other's faces.”

That is why we are on a mission to raise $5,000 to send Cye and his family on a unique journey to Disney World and Give Kids the World. This trip will allow them to make joyful memories in a different, stress-free place!

Herbie is a 6-year-old boy from Bartlett, IL, diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in September 2021.

Before his diagnosis, Herbie was vibrant, full of energy, loved to play soccer, and ran around outside whenever he had the chance. Several months before his diagnosis, he began experiencing occasional headaches, which were essentially his only symptom. Still, his mom had a strong feeling that something was wrong. They had to see multiple doctors before they decided to request an MRI. Their lives changed as quickly as an MRI captured brain images. The doctor urgently instructed them to take Herbie to Lurie Children's Hospital because they had discovered a large brain mass.

He should have been starting his first day of kindergarten but Instead was lying in a hospital bed. He underwent 30 rounds of proton radiation, daily sedation for six weeks, a year of chemotherapy, two surgeries, numerous MRIs, and extensive blood work.

His mom said, “Our lives completely were turned upside down. None of us are the same person, nor will ever be. The child we knew at four years old is no longer the same child. We grieve the child we lost at four but embrace the beautiful new child we have at six years old now. Every day is. Gift, and we know that.”

This dream would mean the world to their family. It's been three years since they had a proper vacation, and Disney World has always been Herbie's dream destination. It's on his vision board.

We aim to raise $5,000 to send Herbie and his family on a unique journey to Disney World and Give Kids the World. This trip will give them the opportunity to create joyful memories in a new environment, away from their current difficulties!

Eliana is an 8-year-old girl from Long Island, NY, who was diagnosed with Leukemia in December 2020, just a few months after turning six years old.

Before her diagnosis, she loved sports, especially soccer, and wanted to learn to play the violin. She enjoyed making new friends.

Eliana experienced ongoing discomfort in her wrist and leg, which they initially thought was a sprain. However, after a visit to the doctor and some blood tests, she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

During her treatment, she faced both physical pain and emotional struggles. Her illness made it impossible to pursue soccer and the violin due to her weakened state. She also struggled with her self-esteem, fearing that her bald appearance might lead to bullying.

Despite these challenges, Eliana remained positive and brave, ultimately entering remission. Her battle with cancer has made her even stronger and more fearless. She's now able to learn soccer and will soon begin violin lessons.

In a few weeks, she'll be nine and hopes to celebrate her birthday at Disney World. It would mean so much to her to meet Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald, and the princesses at the happiest place on Earth. She wants to enjoy all the rides with her brothers and have an amazing time!

We aim to raise $5,000 to send Eliana and her family on a special trip to Disney World and Give Kids the World. This trip will allow them to make happy memories together in a different place, away from their current challenges.

Alexus, a 17-year-old girl from Chickasha, Oklahoma, was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney cancer in May 2021.

Before her diagnosis, Alexus was very active. She loved to swim, be outdoors, jump on the trampoline, and she loved to ride bikes with her siblings.

When the doctor told them about Alexus having cancer, her mom recalls, “I felt like a pain hit my stomach & I was extremely upset & mad at the same time. I felt like it was unfair for her to have to go through this. I felt like I wanted to take it for her. She was quiet. After the doctors left, she cried and said why did this happen to me?”

This diagnosis has had a profound impact on her life, stealing away important teenage experiences and physical abilities. She faces feelings of not fitting in and has encountered numerous challenges that no child should have to go through.

The family's quality time together has been greatly diminished, and they are also struggling financially due to the costs of her medical treatment. Alexus has faced a series of hardships that no child should have to endure, including fighting cancer, enduring harsh treatments, dealing with hair loss, feeling isolated at school, and coping with physical issues like neuropathy.

Due to her mother's inability to work due to the situation, the family's financial condition has worsened, adding more strain. Additionally, Alexus's siblings have experienced prolonged separations from her. When they do manage to spend time together, her appearance is troubling, leading to worries about her overall health and condition.

We believe that this dream trip will be the way for Alexus and her siblings to smile, laugh, and be free from fear and struggles. This is their chance for their much-needed moments of pure happiness.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 to send Alexus and her family on a special trip to Disney World and Give Kids the World. This amazing adventure will provide them with an opportunity to escape their daily routine and create new wonderful memories together as a family!

Evelena is a 9-year-old Fort Knox, KY local who was initially diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in August of 2018 and relapsed just recently in May of this year.

Before her diagnosis, Evelena was a remarkably affectionate, gentle, and compassionate young girl with a passion for exploring the world through travel. She had exciting trips planned to Hawaii, Canada, and Florida, which unfortunately had to be put on hold due to her illness. Evelena faced her diagnosis with incredible bravery, and cancer did not diminish her strength or spirit. She remains the same resilient and courageous young girl she has always been.
