Jacob’s Story

Site created on December 12, 2019

So this is hard for me but I need specific prayers for Jacob and financial help to take care of him from home. Jacob is 5yrs old, he will be 6yrs old on 12/18. He had multiple MRIs and a ct scan. For those of you who don't know he has a tumor in his cervical spine, found 2 years ago, the size of a lima bean. The scans have found that the tumor has grown more than 5x the size in just 2.5months. It is has been confirmed that he has ATRT cancer. ATRT cancer is very rare, hard to treat and the prognosis isn't good. This tumor has cause my sweet boy so much discomfort, he is miserable. All of his treatment is experimental. My heart is breaking and I'm praying God gives Jacob's massive medical team the wisdom to take care of him. Please keep him in your prayers. As a single mother of 4 I am their sole provider. I have put my pride aside to ask for money donations to help with our loss of income. I also ask for donations to help me not work for a while so that I can focus on my son. Please make donations to my venmo(@sajc4gomez) or my Facebook fundraiser https://www.facebook.com/donate/420913591936914/?fundraiser_source=external_url.
