Stand with Jenni and Jackson

Our family has seen and contributed to many of these GoFundMe posts. Now, our family is the focus, and we are asking for your consideration.

UPDATE on our Jackson:
It's been 4 months since initial diagnosis and our little hero is managing all of the treatments. Jackson turns 5 this weekend and honestly, it's too much for a young soul to go through but here we are. The first couple of months were rough and multiple trips to Wisconsin Children's were taken. In March he endured his first real setback when his numbers dropped drastically (Neutropenic) after receiving chemotherapy. That day he was home from the hospital by 4PM but was right back there a couple hours later and admitted for 8 days. That set his second form of treatment back (Blina). After being released he was able to go home and enjoy that but the following weekend he was once again admitted for 72 hours as the physician team implemented the Blina therapy and monitored for any adverse reactions. Thank God that didn't happen and he was allowed to go home. Blina is done for 28 days and 24/7. Jackson must wear a backpack with the medicine inside which is pumped through the port in his chest.


He will get 28 days off following this first round but then he will need to be back on and in addition, be admitted to Children's Wisconsin every other week for 4 days.

We ask that you keep those prayers coming because they doing miracles.

Thank you all.

On December 4th, my 4-year-old grandson and my daughter Jenni's son Jackson was diagnosed with Lymphoblastic Leukemia. We spent a week admitted to Children's Wisconsin in Milwaukee so a team of physicians could begin treating this illness and creating a plan of care, which we are told is to last at least 8 months. We travel back to Children's twice weekly at this point so Jackson can receive chemotherapy, blood, and platelets when necessary, as well as examinations.

This has become more than a full-time job for Jackson's mother, Jenni, who is managing the administration of several prescriptions at home and taking care of him daily. Her place of employment has been incredibly supportive, but as with all jobs, that cannot last indefinitely. Family is doing what we can, but this is going to be long-term, and so we are praying for any assistance to come to the family.

It is apparently our turn to weather this unthinkable turn of events, especially in a soul as young as Jackson, so we ask for your consideration. All donations will support Jackson's continued care, transport to Children's Wisconsin, and home expenses that my daughter has. I am merely starting this effort for Jenni and her boys. Thank you.
