About three years ago, when he was only 16 years old, Danny was struck by a pretty uncommon but very aggressive cancer called pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. We had never heard of it. But now it’s part of our everyday life.

Immediately Danny underwent a year of very aggressive chemotherapy – the kind that turns a person’s life on its head. Even more for a guy who is navigating his teen years. He lost his hair. He lost weight. He was weak and often sick. But it seemed to work. After that year of treatment, Danny’s cancer was gone. Needless to say, we were all ecstatic.

In less than 6 months, it was back. Angrier than ever. Since then, Danny’s been through three different treatments. Each ravaging his body. But sadly, not doing what they were supposed to do.

Now there’s one last chance for Danny. A new treatment that’s been successful curing very difficult cancers in other people. Unfortunately, this treatment isn’t covered by insurance. And it is pricey. That’s why we need your help.

I know we hear these stories every day. But Danny’s a great kid. From a great family. With his entire life ahead of him. Dealing with an illness that no one should have to deal with. All he wants is a chance at a normal life. To go to college. To get a job. Doesn’t seem like a lot to most of us – but it means the world to him and his family.

Please help. Give whatever you can. No donation is too small. And tell people. Lots of people. Tell everyone you know. Beg them to help. And please keep Danny, Betty, Javier and Demi in your prayers.

We can’t thank you enough for this.
