Jon Cannot Wait. His Treatment Begins Now and He Needs You.

Jon is 16 years old. He should be worrying about homework, hanging out with friends, and just being a teenager.

Instead, after weeks of not feeling well, Jon and his family received news that shattered their world. He has been diagnosed with T-LBL, a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma.

Within days, Jon was admitted to the hospital where he is expected to stay for at least the next month undergoing intensive chemotherapy. And when that first phase is over, his fight is far from finished. Years of ongoing treatments, medications, and monitoring lie ahead.

His mother, Marietta, is not a stranger to this kind of pain. She recently fought her own battle against breast cancer, enduring multiple surgeries and stepping away from work just to survive. And before that, the family lost Jon's father to a sudden heart attack in 2016.

This family has already carried more than most people will face in a lifetime. And now this.

Marietta will once again leave her job to be by Jon's side every single day. Because that is what mothers do. But hospital bills, treatment costs, travel expenses, and everyday bills do not stop coming.

Every donation, no matter how small, lifts a little of the financial burden so Jon and Marietta can focus on the only thing that matters right now. Jon's recovery.
