Help Arya’s battle with childhood cancer
Donation protected
Our beautiful, loving, and sweet 3 year old daughter Arya was officially diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on 19 Sept 2022. She is the kindest and most caring child you could ever imagine, and she is the best big sister to our 1 year old, Arys.
We need help lifting some of the financial burden. All proceeds will be used directly for Arya’s benefit such as medical bills, prescriptions, travel costs, a patio fence extension so she has more space to play outside, other quality of life improvements, house cleaning services, in-home nurse care, etc…
Story: After rushing Arya to the ER on 17th September for a fever that wasn’t getting better, for skin paleness, and unexplained bruising, our absolute worst fears came to reality when we heard the words “leukemia” from the ER doctor’s mouth. The feeling was like living out the most dreaded nightmare and was the worst news I’ve ever received in my entire life. She was immediately admitted to the Children’s Hospital. Blood transfusions, surgery for a bone marrow biopsy, spinal tap for chemo injections, and a permanent IV port in her chest followed shortly after. On 19 Sept she got her official diagnosis. This amazing little girl has shown more strength and bravery than I ever knew she could. She is a fighter and despite the pain and suffering from the side effects of chemo and other treatments, there is hope that she can get through this and one day be cured from this cancer. Right now she can barely walk due to the side effects of the Chemo, but she is determined to get her mobility back. No one, especially an innocent child, should ever have to suffer from this.
Today is day 16 of her treatment, and I pray as we update this story that only good news is relayed here. We’re in this fight for the long haul and our family sincerely thanks you for any help you provide.
Forever grateful,
Derek, Guan-Jen, Arya, and Arys
