Get to know the kids we are helping right now

Meet Luca

Meet Luca, a loving, happy little boy who literally still smiles in the face of extreme adversity! Born with Down syndrome and a severe heart condition, this smart happy 3-year-old loves music, dancing, dinosaurs, animals, and the outdoors. Being diagnosed with B cell ALL was a hard blow to the family, and the financial impact has been equally tough, but Luca is doing well with the treatment and is in phase 3 now. He’s been fortunate to avoid hospitalization and be able to continue his treatment at home, under the care and supervision of his wonderful grandparents. Parker Project is privileged to have been able to help Luca’s family with transportation expenses.

Meet Ayla

Meet Ayla, a 2-year-old little girl in Arizona who is battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She spent her second birthday in the hospital, and has undergone 7 surgeries and multiple transfusions, in addition to chemotherapy. Her treatment plan is expected to last two and a half years, and has been extremely intense and difficult, including multiple daily medications, injections, frequent clinic visits, and hospitalizations. Ayla loves coloring, dancing, playing outside, going to the park, and watching Disney. Her whole family of 5, plus her grandma, are all beside her in her fight against cancer. Parker Project has been able to help Ayla’s family with their mortgage.

Meet Elena

Meet Elena, a 5-year-old who lives in New York with her parents, older sister, and grandparents. Shortly after beginning preschool, she started having symptoms like vomiting, instability, and headaches. Doctors discovered a dangerous amount of fluid on her brain, which needed to be drained immediately. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor called medulloblastoma in late 2023. Elena underwent full tumor resection surgery, has finished proton radiation, and is now going through 9 months of chemotherapy with the support of her family. Parker Project has had the privilege of providing the family with transportation assistance.

Meet Jett

Meet Jett, an energetic happy 4-year-old whose positive energy always lights up the room. He was diagnosed with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in 2023. When a persistent fever spiked to 105, his family rushed him to the hospital and his cancer was discovered. He has done very well with treatment and has a long-term maintenance plan for the next year and a half which includes oral chemotherapy at home and monthly in-person port flushes. Jett has been incredibly brave and inspiring through his battle, with his parents by his side. Parker Project has been able to help the family with their utility expenses.

Our testimonials

Childhood Cancer never takes a backseat, leaves you vulnerable, upset, worried, scared. When I feel I can’t deal with any more bad news, there are people in the world that renew your faith in humanity. That is what I thought of when I took time to think about your foundation and what it means to my family and I. My job is to worry about my daughter, I do as much footwork as I can to keep her daily health in check. Your foundation has taken some of the financial burden off my mind and allows me to focus on her. Not stressing about going to the store, not being able to afford certain items, especially co-pays, food, medical assistance. In the upcoming month we have several different, CAT scans, MRIs, labs, EKG, EEG, multiple tests, new doctors on the docket… then you called me and asked me what I need help with! You have yet to meet my family in person and are literally making sure we are OK (like family). This blows my mind and makes me feel loved. It’s amazing how complete strangers can offer love and genuine kindness, for so many families so many miles away. You are a true bunch of selfless individuals, spreading sunshine to the world.
