Zelek Murray is a 14 year old from Toronto, Ontario, and has been battling a rare form of brain cancer, since the tender age of 9. Zelek is currently battling, "Ependymoma", a tumorous cancer that can form in the brain or spinal cord. This type of cancer, can occur at any age. To date Zelek has received rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. Zelek has had to re learn to walk and talk. He has lost all hearing in his left side, but through it all he remains positive and full of hope.
So where does this child get his strength from? He gets it from his Mama.
Temeka Ishmael, mother of 3, a real life superhero. For the last 5 years she has been battling cancer with her son, raising twin boys, building a business, and moving her children out of Government housing. Temeka remains full of grace and strength.
Temeka runs a beauty business and during Covid, like for many of us, it has been hard to stay afloat. Zelek's hospitalizations are more frequent, and this is a battle that many of us cannot imagine. This fund will support Temeka to be more available without the financial burdens. Your contributions will help with rent, food, transportation, and child care.
Many of us would not have been able to get through this. Temeka has. Her children have. They have taught us all about perseverance, determination, hope, strength, courage, and a whole lot of magic. Temeka, Zelek, Jeremiah, Josiah and Donna (grandma) are so thankful for all of your prayers, support, and love. Any support that you can contribute means so much.- Ishmael Family Xo
