We're back!!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!One of our purposes here on *
DeviantsForTheCure is to get the word out about people who need our support with dealing with cancer. This one struck a big cord with me, as I heard about this little girl from my father. Harley Thornton is 2 1/2 years old, and has a form of cancer called
neuroblastoma.The child is very sick, and her parents are financially strapped. The parents live with their three children in a one bedroom home in West Virginia. They have been taking Harley to Johns Hopkins medical center for experimental treatments on this disease in the hopes that she'll get better. But that in itself takes a lot of money, more than the insurance will pay. So thousands of dollars are going to this baby's medical care. She's not well enough to move and play like normal children her age. Harley sleeps most of the day, and has an IV with morphine to help with the pain from this disease.
What can we do about it? Well, the family needs help financially. That's one of the biggest concerns, but they also need prayers and support. This is a very hard time for any parent, as I'm sure some of you will identify with.
Here's some links for you all:
National Cancer Institute's Page on Neuroblastoma Harley Thornton's Support PageC'mon everyone! We can make a difference to this family can't we?
Please, anyone who's willing, post a link back to this news article, or the
journal so we can get the news out to help this child!
