Sage was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in July of 2022 at just 4 years of age. Sage has always been a very active little girl with no health problems before her diagnosis. Sage was preparing to start soccer and dancing when she began suffering from a fever that lasted 3 days without breaking. Soon she did not have the energy to play and one day was sleeping on her mom’s lap at her sister’s swim practice. Sage was unable to keep her eyes open and mom knew it was time to take her to the Memorial Emergency Room where they gave Sage an ultrasound and confirmed her diagnosis. She was put into treatment right away. Sage is a spitfire, she is a strong little girl and has the bravery of a soldier, she has pushed through this process like a warrior princess. However, she does get mad when her PICC line isn’t the proper accessory to her fashion choices. Sage loves riding her bike and enjoys fake cell phone chats, and Aurora is her favorite princess. Parker Project was able to assist Sage’s family with medical bills & costs alike, helping Sage’s parents ensure their daughter can receive the best possible treatment available. We are ecstatic to share that Sage and her beautiful family are doing well and living their lives to the fullest.

Meet Charlie, a beautiful 4-year-old girl with a smile that will melt your heart. When Charlie was just 2 years old, she exhibited symptoms initially thought to be constipation. Her pain continued and led to a scary discovery. She had a massive tumor the size of two softballs in her belly. Charlie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Germ Cell Cancer. Despite challenges, Charlie embarked on a courageous battle alongside Mom, Dad, and her little sister Annie. She underwent four rounds of chemotherapy and an 8-hour surgery that removed 100% of the tumor. Charlie’s fight against cancer continued. The disease had spread to her liver, requiring high-dose chemotherapy and Stem Cell harvesting. Charlie had more surgeries and obstacles to overcome, but her recent scans show amazing progress with liver regrowth and no new evidence of tumors. Her story is one of hope, strength, and the unwavering spirit of a warrior facing the toughest odds. Our charity has been able to assist Charlie’s Family with grocery cards and an auto payment while her parents stayed by her side helping her in the fight against Cancer.

Avery is an only child and fought her battle alongside her parents and grandparents. Avery is now 13 years old and has overcome so much adversity and side effects due to her treatments.

Family togetherness is very important and in the large state of Texas the Parker Project helped with transportation for the journey from El Paso to Fort Worth for treatment. Teen Titans are Samir’s favorite, and they always say, “Lesson number two never give up! Titans Together!” The Parker Project will never give up and always keep Titans together for kids like Samir.
