Adam Carlson hasn't added a story.
Until a few months ago, my cousin Collin was just a normal 6 year-old boy who liked playing with Legos and reading "The Magic Treehouse". He's smart, funny and cares about everybody; he even wants to be a doctor so he can help people. This year in July we found out he was diagnosed with Leukemia. He started to get treatment at Boston Children's Hospital within two weeks and will continue treatment until he does get better.
According to his last CT scan in September, he is progressing thanks to the treatments he's receiving. Unfortunately the cancer is still not close to being defeated into remission. This means he will need to keep getting chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Because Collin is in the hospital and his parents want to be with him as much as possible they have not been able to go to work as often. Not only is this making it so the already expensive medical bills are becoming hard to pay, but also necessities such as electricity and water bills are becoming hard to pay. The $1300 would go towards paying the medical bills and necessities, and although it won't pay for everything, it will help tremendously. We didn't want to set the goal too high since we want it to be achievable.
We hope that after all of this is finished, Collin will be fully healed and can grow up to lead a normal, happy and most of all, healthy life. As I said earlier, Collin when he grows up, he wants to be a doctor because then he can help people get better. With your help Collin can get better so that one day he can help people get better too!
I know that money is tight for many of you, and I understand completely. If you can't give it would be just as helpful to share this page with friends and family so they can hear Collin's story. Let's get the word out and help Collin beat this cancer!
Through this whole process, we are positive, and doing all we can to beat this cancer!!! The love and daily support from our family and friends have been vital in helping the cause and we are forever in debt to all of you!! Let's help Collin beat this cancer so he can live like any normal fun-loving 6 year old once more!
