Our sweet boy, Justin Jr. (JJ), was rushed to the hospital after what we thought was just a severe case of the flu. As parents, we expected medicine, rest, and for him to be back to being his playful, happy self. Instead, we were given news that changed our lives.

Just one month after celebrating his 4th birthday, JJ was diagnosed with PH+ALL (Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) ? a rare and aggressive form of childhood leukemia.

In an instant, our world shifted from normal everyday life to hospital rooms, endless testing, treatments, and uncertainty. No parent is ever prepared to hear the words that their child has cancer.

JJ has a long road ahead of him. His fight will include weekly treatments, frequent doctor visits, hospital stays for observation, medications, and countless challenges along the way. One of his medications must be taken with a specific orange juice, and with treatment comes many unexpected expenses, travel, and day-to-day needs.

Through all of this, JJ continues to show strength, courage, and resilience far beyond his years. He is fighting like a kid ? brave, strong, and determined.

We are starting this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden on our family so we can focus fully on what matters most: helping JJ fight and heal. Donations will help with medical-related expenses, travel to and from appointments, hospital stays, medications, special dietary needs, and supporting our family during this difficult journey.

If you?re unable to purchase, we ask that you please keep JJ in your prayers and share his story. Every prayer, share, and contribution helps carry us through.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside JJ and our family as we face the toughest battle of our lives. Your love, support, and generosity mean everything to us.

Please help us show JJ he is not fighting alone.
