Kealy Jo Casey

To my dear sweet niece Kealy Jo Casey, I ask Why?  Why did cancer pick such a sweet, little, innocent girl?  Why so much heartache on such a loving family?  

I have had the privilege of being Kealy's uncle and godfather for the past 11 months now, and all I see is a happy baby - happy to be alive and happy to play with her toys.  She shows no signs of sickness...she radiates happiness!

My dear sweet niece Kealy Jo was recently diagnosed with rare stage 4 neuroblastoma.  She has already undergone 2 big surgeries in which they removed a tumor from her skull that was originally thought to be benign as well as a very large tumor on her adrenal gland.  All test results came back and she is in urgent need of chemotherapy, which will last for approximately a year.  

As my family and friends continue to pray for Kealy, our upcoming fight against this cancer is REAL, the heartache is REAL, and the pain is REAL to all who know and love our sweet Kealy.

My brother Michael (Kealy's daddy) and sister-in-law Kellie (Kealy's mommy) are facing hard times.  Kellie just started a new job, they recently purchased a house...all within the last month as their world came crashing down with this devastating and unexpected diagnosis.  Kellie and Michael are also expecting a new baby in February.  The medical bills are quickly piling up, as hospitals and doctors require portions for treatment upfront.  They will be spending 5 days straight in the hospital with Kealy as she receives her chemo followed by a 3-week hiatus at home before being back in the hospital again for another gruesome round of life-saving medicine.  

I ask for your generous donations; any little bit helps and will add up to ease the burden that this young family is going through.  

I love you Kealy Jo and am fighting hard for you!

Love,
Uncle Frank and family
