Support Bella DuBois as she fights bone cancer

In early June, our Beautiful Warrior Bella was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. After meeting with teams at Boston Children’s Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute, doctors have laid out an aggressive treatment plan for this rare disease. Bella will have 10 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by a difficult surgery, and then another 18 weeks of chemo. After a total of nine months of treatments, her team will determine next steps.

Given the long battle ahead, Tracy will need to take extended time off from work—at least a year—to care for Bella full-time. Between the chaotic travel to and from Boston regularly for treatments, staying overnight when necessary, and caring around the clock for a medically fragile child, it will not be possible for her to continue to work. Your donation will help ensure that she can focus entirely on taking care of Bella (and her brother, Thomas) during this difficult time.

Your generosity will help the DuBois family with the unexpected costs of medical expenses, travel, food and parking,  ongoing bills with a loss of income, and all the other unforeseen expenses that add up so quickly.

Hearing your child has a cancer diagnosis is every parent’s worst nightmare, and we want to ensure this will not be a financial nightmare for the family. Anything you can contribute to support Bella, Thomas, Tracy, and Bob during this unimaginable time will be so greatly appreciated.

For our local friends, we’ll be happy to share other ways you can help, like making meals, helping with carpools, and assisting with childcare. We can’t thank you enough for all of your very generous offers of support, help, and prayers for the family.
