Help Daniel Fight Leukemia & Support His Growing Family

Donation protected
On July 11th, Daniel's world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This aggressive form of leukemia requires immediate and intensive treatment, including 6-9 weeks of chemotherapy followed by a possible stem cell transplant.

As Daniel battles this life-threatening illness, he faces the heart-wrenching reality of being separated from his family. His wife, Natalie, is 32 weeks pregnant with their first child, a baby girl they plan to name Sophia Lee. With Daniel unable to be at home to support her, Natalie is left to navigate the challenges of late pregnancy and prepare for the arrival of their daughter alone.

The cost of treating B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia in California is overwhelming. The expenses for chemotherapy, hospital stays, medications, and the potential stem cell transplant can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. On top of this, there are additional costs for Natalie as she prepares for Sophia's arrival and manages their household without Daniel's support.

Daniel's treatment will be incredibly demanding, both physically and emotionally. He will likely be unable to have contact with Natalie and their newborn due to the risks associated with his intensive chemotherapy regimen. This separation adds to the emotional and financial burden on their family.

We are reaching out to friends, family, and compassionate strangers to help Daniel and Natalie through this incredibly challenging time. Your generous contributions will go towards:
  • Medical expenses for Daniel's leukemia treatment
  • Support for Natalie during her pregnancy and the arrival of baby Sophia
  • Household expenses while Daniel is unable to work
  • Future costs associated with Daniel's potential stem cell transplant

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact. Your support will not only help cover the medical costs but also provide much-needed relief and hope to Daniel, Natalie, and baby Sophia during this difficult journey.

Thank you for taking the time to read Daniel’s story. We appreciate your love and support.
