Here is a posting that Kaden’s mom put out on Saturday…..
Kaden’s Army, we need to go into “battle” again! Emma Will and her Mom Shirley need our help! Emma was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2009 and despite having her left leg amputated and multiple lung surgeries to remove tumors, her cancer is back in her spine and clavicle. Emma will need to undergo radiation for 16-20 days and while they are in Rochester they need help with purchasing meds, buying food, and gas (they are from Iowa). Emma’s story is so close to Kaden’s story and I really want to help alleviate some of the financial burden for Emma and her Mom. Emma’s Dad passed away. When I read a story like this it hits way too close to home and I’m hoping that the love and support that we received throughout our 15 month journey can carry on to help another family in need!
Logan and I are going to purchase some gift certificates to help them out but I would be honored if others would help me. Tonight I was feeling pretty down and missing Kaden A TON! Right now, I feel this is my mission…I was compelled to come to the computer and ask for help on Emma’s behalf. No family should have to suffer at the hands of cancer!!!
If you would like to help Emma and Shirley, email me at [email protected] and I will gladly collect whatever you are willing to offer them! Emma will be back in Rochester on the 16th to start treatment. They are hoping to get into HopeLodge but that isn’t a guarantee so help with lodging is also an option. I can’t bring Kaden back but I can help pay it forward in his memory!
