Support for Little Kevin and Family
Donation protected
With the outpouring of support for Kevin and his family, we have decided to establish a Go Fund Me. Funds raised will help the Nadon family pay their rent, bills, and medical expenses. It will also help fund many trips back and forth from their home near Kitchener, Ontario to the London's Children Hospital for cancer treatments.
My nephew, Little Kevin, is 9 only years old. Kevin has 3 siblings (Shelby - 17, Mark - 13, Kaleigh - 8), and 2 really great parents (Big Kevin and Tracey). Two weeks ago, a sudden stomach ache and vomiting resulted in a trip to the Emergency Room. There, he was diagnosed with two different kinds of cancer. It was discovered that Little Kevin has a 5cm mass in his abdomen, behind his liver and pancreas. After an MRI, bone marrow biopsy, spinal tap and PET scans, it has been determined that Kevin has B cell Lymphoma, which has spread, causing additional tumors and a secondary cancer, Leukemia. Kevin will be undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatments to start, with hopes that it will cure the leukemia and shrink the tumors. Additional chemotherapy, radiation and bone marrow transplants may be possible depending on the treatment's effectiveness. Unfortunately due to the placement of the primary tumor, surgery is not possible as it is wrapped around his celiac artery in his abdomen.
Kevin is an incredibly smart and outgoing boy. He has named is primary tumor "Sherman", and its off-shoots "Shermanites." He understands the treatments that he is undergoing as a way to get rid of Sherman so that he can feel better. Due to the type of cancer, doctor's have been extensively testing and will be treating aggressively. As a result, Kevin's mother, Tracey, has had to take unpaid leave from her job. Moreover, as a manager at a local restaurant, Tracey cannot risk being in close contact with the public due to concerns with COVID-19. This has cut very crucial income for the young family of 6.
Please if you can help, they and their extended family would be so grateful. We love him to the moon and back. Together we can kill Sherman. #LetsKillSherman
