Cooper S.

We were on our annual Florida Keys vacation for lobster mini season when we noticed Cooper wasn’t feeling well. Thinking maybe he was just dehydrated from being on the boat, we took him to an urgent care in Islamorada. We were told they don’t have pediatric equipment but urged us to go to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami because he did not look good.

On July 23, 2024 our world was forever changed when we got the news Cooper was diagnosed with T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. 

He has undergone 3 rounds of intense chemo in Miami, and although not in complete remission yet, we remain hopeful that God will get him there soon! 

The support of our family, friends, and community have been essential in this journey. We would not be able to do this new life without all their help. It’s good to know our 2 girls are in good hands when we need to focus on getting Cooper better.

Included in this community is Chasin A Dream Foundation. They have helped tremendously with generous financial assistance and toys for all the kids! We are so blessed and forever grateful in this tough time!
