ISAAC ROBERTSON

#ISAACISMYSUPERHERO

Isaac is an 8-year-old local from Massillon, Ohio
and we’re on a mission to raise
$5,000 to send Isaac and his family on a dream trip to
Disney World and Give Kids The World Village
where they can make wonderful memories together,
OUTSIDE of the hospital!

Isaac was diagnosed with bilateral Wilms Tumor November 18, 2019, just two weeks after his 5th birthday. He was such a happy, smart, normal boy before his diagnosis. He has only been able to attend school in person for 1 year, first grade. He’s missed out on all the normal school milestones— programs, friend birthday parties, class parties, field trips, and socializing. He’s been unable to participate in extracurricular activities due to his risk of infection. He’s played one year of soccer and dreams about getting back to it. Isaac’s cancer has changed our family so much. We are stressed all the time, isolated, have taken hits financially due to income loss, and have been unable to be with the extended family. It’s changed Isaac from a carefree kid to one that has to worry. Every conversation revolves around his cancer and when it goes away or when it will come back. He has to wear a mask everywhere he goes, get stared at because of his bald head, and make sure he is not losing weight. Isaac has dreamed of going to Disney for a long time. It would mean everything to him to see the characters he grew up watching and enjoy life like a normal child. Seeing him act normal and live his life carefree in the magic of Disney would bring back some normalcy for us as a family. It would forever be a memory we could all look back on and smile about.
