Leukemia Texas has been an incredible blessing to our family during one of the most challenging times of our lives. Our daughter, Perry, was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in January of 2024, just one month after her second birthday, beginning a 2.5-year journey of chemotherapy and treatments. The love and support we have received from Leukemia Texas has brought us comfort and relief in ways we could never have imagined. It has truly made such a difference for our family in this season.
Through their Patient Aid program, Leukemia Texas provided us with financial assistance that lifted a significant burden off our shoulders. A cancer diagnosis comes with overwhelming emotional, physical, and financial challenges, but their generosity allowed us to focus on what truly matters—being there for Perry. Beyond the financial help and resources, their kindness and encouragement has reminded us that we are not alone in this fight. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support and the hope they bring to families like ours navigating this difficult cancer journey! Thank you Leukemia Texas!
