Update 03/05/2025:
With your help we were able to cover Kevin’s rent for the next 3 months.
We have received this thank you message from Kevin’s mother:
“From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you who has stood by our side during this incredibly difficult time. Knowing that my son Kevin has been battling cancer has been one of the hardest challenges of our lives, but your kindness, generosity, and prayers have given us strength and hope.
Thanks to your support, we now have the security of knowing that our rent is covered for the next three months—a blessing that lifts an immense weight off our shoulders. In particular, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Gif4life for making this possible. Your generosity and compassion have not only helped us financially but have also reminded us that we are not alone in this fight.
Words cannot fully capture how grateful we are for each donation, message, and act of kindness. Please know that your support means the world to us, and we will never forget the love you have shown our family.
With endless gratitude, Alina, Kevin’s mum”
Kevin is 4 years old. He was born with Down syndrome and last year he was also diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia B.
At the end of August, the life of this family changed radically when Kevin began to have a fever and feel worse and worse, and the medical tests showed that he suffers from Leukemia. Desperately looking for a hospital where they could save their little boy, they arrived in Rome at Bambino Gesu. So far, Kevin has gone through dozens of rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, investigations, enduring a lot of pain and suffering in this battle.
The situation of this family with three children is extremely difficult. The father was diagnosed with heart problems when the mother was 8 months pregnant with Kevin. He suffered 5 cardiac arrests and is carrying a defibrillator and unfortunately because of this he can no longer work. The mother worked until Kevin got sick. Now, the only income of this family is the children’s allowances.
Kevin is home after a long period in the hospital. He successfully completed the reinduction phase and began the next stage of treatment, the maintenance phase. This will last another year and will include chemotherapy administered orally, in the form of syrup and pills, as well as numerous medical tests and investigations.
Kevin and his family need our support. During this extremely difficult time, Kevin’s parents are asking for our support. With their hearts shattered, they call on us to join them in this merciless fight. Let’s be with Kevin and his family, to provide the financial support essential for their stay and continued treatment in Italy.
They currently need assistance to cover six months of rent at $400 per month (they are staying in Italy so that Kevin can continue treatment). Help us reach our goal!
