A fighting Chance For Thomas
Donation protected
Thomas needs his mom.
April Johnson is a mother of two small children, Irene (age 8) and Thomas (age 5). They lost their dad and husband two years ago to cancer. After his death, April became a bus driver for children with special needs. This allowed her to balance single parenting with work. This is a giant feat for any single parent.
Recently, Thomas developed an ear infection that wouldn’t respond to antibiotics. It burst his ear drum, doing damage to many other parts in his ear, which has rendered him deaf in that ear and paralyzed the left side of his face. He was promptly admitted to the Children’s Hospital for further testing. Thomas was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma; a growing cancerous tumor between the muscle tissues behind his ear. As of this week, it is being treated with both chemo and radiation.
While this is occurring, April’s family and friends have rallied behind her to help look after Thomas at the hospital and Irene at home. But the longer term financial support is needed to pay rent, house bills, fuel and groceries as a leave of absence is necessary to care for Thomas in the hospital.
Please consider donating. Your generosity is most appreciated.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
