Help Christian's family as he undergoes transplant
Donation protected
Christian Bedolla was a sophomore in high school when his life took a sudden change...A "one in millions" type of change.
It all started March 2019. Christian went out with his friends after school when all of a sudden he started to feel flu like symptoms all at once. We thought it was a cold or flu. After days go by and his condition rapidly started to worsen, he went to get it checked specially when a bump and rashes showed up on his body. He went through numerous tests and nothing or anything could figure out what was going on. After a year of testing and different types of medications, Christian was unfortunately diagnosed with a one in millions cancer called "Subcutaneous Panniculitis Like T-Cell Lymphoma" at the age of 17, in January 2020. After many trial & errors for treatments,sadly Christian's body continued to adapt to it and resulted the treatment to stop working causing him to have relapses. His cancer is also rare that there isn't enough research to help treat him.
At this point in time his only hope for a cure would be a bone marrow transplant. His doctors believe right now is the best time to do so because his body is in the best shape to be able to recover well. Therefore, the bone marrow transplant is planned to happen this month. A life changing procedure can impact the patient & family in a variety of ways. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and economically. In Christian's case, he will be getting his transplant done an hour away from his home. Christian and his mom will be spending about a month at the hospital. Leaving his father to become the only source of income in the meantime. His family would appreciate any assistance possible to help them get through this difficult period of time. Christian is a resilient young man with many dreams & goals he plans to accomplish once his health permits him to proceed such as becoming a firefighter. Regardless of his cancer diagnosis he never allowed it to stop him from accomplishing his dreams. He is part of the OCFA Fire Cadet Program additionally he has worked as an in-house EMT in one of OCFA’s Fire stations. With all of this going on, he thankfully managed to juggle doctor appointments/treatment, school, work, extracurricular, etc. Once the transplant is complete he plans to work hard to gain back his strength and continue achieving his goals. Any amount of help will bless him not only financially but give him and his parents the security and peace of mind to devote to his recovery.Any money donated will be used to help pay for bills and necessities. Any amount you're willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated, and if you aren't able to contribute money at this time, a share with your friends and family would mean the world to his family. Thank you for taking the time to read. For more about Christian and his story visit his Instagram/tik tok page @Oneinmillions7.
