#JAMMERSSTRONG

GOAL MET!

Jameson is a 5-year old from Newark, CA, TN and we’re on a mission to raise
$5,000 to send Jameson and her family on a dream trip to
Disney World &
Give Kids The World Village
where they can make amazing memories together OUTSIDE of the hospital!

Before Jammers was diagnosed he loved playing with his big brother and sister. He was always smiling and happy. He could light up a room with his smile. He liked playing with his dinosaurs, dragons, and cars. He loved swimming. When he started not wanting to play or eat or walk, every little moment seem to hurt him, we knew something wasn't right. When we heard those horrifying words "your son has cancer" our hearts sank, we couldn't breathe and broke down crying. Being told to take him to Stanford ER ASAP was so scary. When we got there and they told us of the hydrocephalus and over 100 tumors throughout his brain and spine, I think at that point we went numb. Having to explain this to his brother who was only 5 at the time, was beyond painful. His older sister was 18 and understood but didn’t make it any less hard on her to hear. After the diagnosis, he had to learn to walk again, and function again. He was sick from chemo, in and out of the hospital with fevers or low count numbers. He has so much PTSD that we could be miles away from the hospital but he knows the route so well that he will cry every time. Even after 2 years. His diagnosis happened just as Covid hit so we had to be even more careful. We didn’t see anyone or go anywhere. His brother missed out on in-person schooling for 2 years. First due to Covid and the second year due to making sure he stayed healthy and didn’t bring anything home to his brother. Couldn’t go to birthday parties, parks, anything. Being able to do something so extra special with the kids and enjoy what other families can enjoy without fear and worry would mean so much to us.
