Their Story
Shield is a 15-year-old fighting leukemia while his mother does everything she can to hold the family together. As a stay-at-home mom also caring for a baby, she is unable to work, and money has grown impossibly tight. Between hospital trips, feeding her children, and keeping gas in the car, every dollar counts — and every bit of help brings the family one step closer to breathing again.

Bloom Family
Age 1 · Hepatoblastoma · Bothell, WA
At just ten months old, Bloom was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma. His mother, the primary caregiver, has spent days and weeks away from her two other children — a 2-year-old and an 8-year-old — to be by his side through treatment. The family is barely holding on mentally and financially, yet they show up every single day with love and determination. Even the smallest relief — groceries, gas, a moment to breathe — would mean the world.

Courage Family
Age 17 · B-ALL Leukemia · Union Gap, WA
At seventeen, Courage should be thinking about graduation and the future — instead, each day revolves around blood draws, hospital visits, and finding the strength to keep going through B-ALL leukemia treatment. His caregiver's ability to work has been drastically reduced by the demands of daily medical care, and the family pours everything they have into maintaining stability, security, and hope during an incredibly uncertain time.
