Karter Sheppard

What started out as a show of muscle and strength to his mom Ari, Karter Sheppard was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) when she touched his flexing muscles only to realize that a mass existed.   While the process has been a whirlwind, he has successfully completed his first round of chemo and will be receiving his second round in another week.  

As with any form of cancer, the care and support for Karter will be long and expensive.  Karter's family is asking for your help to support to offset some of the cost associated with his care.  

Karter is being treated at Children's Hospital of Dallas and he has a long journey ahead of him with doctors visits and hospital stays.

Karter is a strong boy, and while he is young, he is encouraged by the outpour of love, prayers and support during this time.  

During Karter's treatment period, which will last for an unknown period of time, his mother Ari is unable to work, as her top priority for now is his care.

The money raised for Karter will help with meeting the day to day needs of both Karter and Ari until their life is able to return to normal and Ari is able to get back to work.  

If nothing more, your prayers and words of encouragement are welcome.
