Kamryn

When Melissa learned she was going to be a mom, she hoped for a boy. Smiley, happy baby Kamryn was her dream come true.

But at 2 years old, Kamryn started crying all day at daycare and showing other unusual behaviors. Melissa took him to the pediatrician, where bloodwork indicated he had a form of blood cancer called acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Kamryn was referred to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® where he would undergo more than two years of chemotherapy on the Total 17 protocol.

Melissa did not have to worry about how much this would cost. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—so they can focus on helping their child live.

Kamryn was initially scared at the hospital, but over time he formed special relationships with his care team. He loved activities like Therapy Music and took his medicine “like a champ,” said Melissa.

Kamryn celebrated the end of treatment in April 2022 with a No More Chemo party. He loves learning and going to school.

Aspen

Aspen was only a year and 10 months old when she was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma. She underwent treatment in the Philippines, but six months later, the cancer was spreading again. Next, with a referral to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, her family traveled to the United States for the first time. “When they told us that

everything will be free, it was like a thorn was taken away. At first it’s unbelievable. We didn’t expect anything like this. We were so grateful,” said her dad. 

Even undergoing cancer treatment at St. Jude, Aspen remained bubbly and happy and playful. But her parents found that they were changed. “It changed my perspective about life,” reflected her mom. “There’s so

much kindness in the world. It’s inspiring in a way that it challenges us, the recipients of this kindness, to give back.”

Now the focus is on living each day to the fullest, with a sense of gratitude. “St. Jude saved us. It saved the family,” said Aspen’s dad. “St. Jude is a gift.”

Eliza

At Eliza’s 4-month well-child visit, her pediatrician referred her to an ophthalmologist after testing her eyes.

The ophthalmologist, in turn, referred Eliza to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® because a tumor was visible in the baby’s right eye. Eliza had retinoblastoma, or eye cancer, and at St. Jude it was found in both her eyes. Eliza underwent systemic chemotherapy, finishing in July 2022, and now returns to St. Jude for regular checkups. “St. Jude has saved her life,” said her mom. “People giving of their own money, it’s helped my baby girl.

And then, you know, they’re able to do research and help other children. So it’s not just my little world. It’s children all over the world.” Eliza is a joyful, playful little girl, and her laugh is infectious. “Most of her life has been hospitals doctors’ offices, but you can still see her personality shine in those places, in the darkest moments,” said her dad.
