Title: Support for Caleb: A Young Warrior Fighting Cancer**
Hi, my name is Heather, and I am reaching out to you on behalf of my dear friend, James, and his incredible 15-year-old son, Caleb. In August, Caleb was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a devastating turn of events that has left our community heartbroken and seeking to support this wonderful family during their time of need.
Caleb, a vibrant and active teenager, was enjoying life—playing football with his friends, laughing, and running around. But what started as complaints of shooting pains in his legs led to a life-altering diagnosis. After initial visits to the doctor and a neurologist, Caleb was finally admitted to the Children's Hospital, where MRI results revealed cancerous growths throughout his spine and spleen. Since then, he has been undergoing intense chemotherapy treatments, currently on his third round, but unfortunately, he still doesn’t have feeling in his legs and has been suffering from debilitating side effects from the treatment.
As if this situation weren't difficult enough, his father James has faced significant challenges of his own. James recently started a new job, only to lose it after just three months due to the extensive time he has needed to care for Caleb. He is now facing eviction and has fallen behind on his rent by a month—$1,200—along with the looming challenge of the February rent. To add to the stress, his car is experiencing motor issues, making it hard for him to travel to the hospital to be with Caleb while also caring for his two other young children at home.
James is the kind of person who would never ask for help, even in such trying times. That’s why I felt compelled to start this page—to alleviate some of the burden he is carrying. Financial support will allow James to focus entirely on his son’s battle against cancer without the overwhelming worry of eviction or the logistics of daily life.
Every donation, no matter how small, will help alleviate the stress and allow James to be by Caleb's side as he fights this battle. Your generosity can make a heartfelt difference in their lives, and I know James will be immensely grateful for any help you can provide.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for considering supporting Caleb and his family during this challenging time
With deepest gratitude,
Heather
