Our good friend RyanCole Weldon-Carroll was diagnosed with T-Cell leukemia just days before his 11th birthday. He has shown tremendous strength and courage throughout the first 7 months of very intense, high dosage chemotherapy treatments. The entire treatment program will last 3 years and 6 months.

Even with insurance, RyanCole's family (Mark, Jules and RyalJames) face a tremendous financial burden. Insurance that could max out later this year, however right now they face out of pocket expenses that range from $500-$2000 a month for medicines and co-pays. One month of chemo treatment and hospital stays may run as high as $300,000. Once the maximum amount of RyanCole’s insurance policy is met, the financial responsibility for all bills will rest solely on his family.

Mark and Jules appreciate the incredible support from friends and neighbors including meals, transportation, gifts and pet care that has been received.

This is just the beginning of a long road ahead and we will need to continue to rally together to help RyanCole and his family.

We appreciate any support, large or small. RyanCole is a great kid and we want to make sure his family can focus on his treatment and not their medical bills.
