Leah Faith Soner

Leah is a 4-year-old girl from KY who was diagnosed with x2 Relapsed High-Risk B-cell infantile Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia s/p BMT in November of 2019.

She has faced unimaginable challenges in her young life. She cherishes her family and has a special bond with her aunts, uncles, and grandparents.

Leah, once a healthy baby, faced a drastic turn in her health at seven months old, leading to a diagnosis of High-Risk B-cell infantile Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This sudden and agonizing news transformed her from a happy, healthy child to a fragile one. Her treatment journey included numerous chemotherapy rounds, a bone marrow transplant, dual CarT therapy trials, and a stem cell transplant across different hospitals. She endured multiple relapses, PICU stays, and various medical procedures, experiencing severe complications like swollen organs, severe anemia, and critically low hemoglobin levels.

Leah Faith had infantile ALL, a more challenging and intense form of the disease. Her mom faced a tough journey alongside her.

That's why we're on a mission to raise $5000 to fund a dream trip for Leah and her family, offering an exclusive opportunity to experience Disney and Give Kids the World. This unique journey will enable them to create new, joyful moments in a different setting, providing a break from their current hardships!

Evelena Chee-Metternick

Evelena is a 9-year-old Fort Knox, KY local who was initially diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in August of 2018 and relapsed just recently in May of this year.

Before her diagnosis, Evelena was a remarkably affectionate, gentle, and compassionate young girl with a passion for exploring the world through travel. She had exciting trips planned to Hawaii, Canada, and Florida, which unfortunately had to be put on hold due to her illness. Evelena faced her diagnosis with incredible bravery, and cancer did not diminish her strength or spirit. She remains the same resilient and courageous young girl she has always been.

In the face of relapse, every day can feel like a battle. But it's important to celebrate the small victories along the way. Whether it's a day with minimal pain, a successful treatment, or even a moment of laughter amidst the tears, these moments remind them that there is still joy to be found in their family's journey.

Having the opportunity to do this DREAM Trip as a family promises an adventure and a chance for their family to build lasting bonds and make new beautiful memories together!

That's why we are on a mission to raise $5,000 to fund a DREAM trip for Evelena and her Family to Give Kids The World and Disney World, where they can make awesome moments together and step away from the clutches of cancer.

Avery Hall

Avery is a 16-year-old boy from Saint Louis, MO. He was first diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2019 and relapsed this year, 2023.

Before the diagnosis, Avery enjoyed writing and performing his music at concerts as well as playing basketball and video games with his friends.

It absolutely broke him when we learned about his cancer the first time, and it was even more heartbreaking when he knew about the relapse. But Avery is a fighter; after some thought and encouragement, he began putting his journey and experiences into music. This diagnosis has changed the way Avery makes his music. Now when he writes, he writes to inspire and motivate those who listen to his creations. Cancer might have hit their family hard, but everyone pulled together for Avery like they always do.

Going to Disney World and Give Kids The World with his family would literally mean the world to Avery; he’s wanted to go since he watched his first Disney movie.

This is why we are on a mission to raise $5,000 to send Avery and his family on a DREAM Trip to Disney World and Give Kids the World and experience life from a different perspective, even just for a while. Let us let them make new wonderful memories together outside of the hospital!

LOGAN SOMMER

Logan is a 10-year-old boy from Leitchfield, Kentucky who is diagnosed with B-cell acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-Cell ALL) Relapsed in Oct of 2022 but he was initially diagnosed when he was only 6 years old, back in 2019.

Logan is one of the Sommer triplets; fun, loving, spunky crazy kiddos. Xavier, his brother, was diagnosed at the age of 4 in 2017 and Logan was diagnosed when he was 6 and then relapsed when he was 9 in 2022. Their family couldn't express their devastation every time. His mom said, "It shakes your entire world to hear the words your child has cancer, but to hear it over and over again just devastates everything".

During his treatments, Logan spent several weeks in the hospital but Currently, he has been receiving at-home oral chemo every day for the last 75ish or so days. Although the last month has been relatively quiet as far as sicknesses go we are heading into some major treatment with port chemo every day for the next 2 weeks- some days we will be at the clinic for 8+ hours receiving treatment. It's been a very rough road.

This is why We are on a mission to raise $5,000 to send Logan and his family on a DREAM trip to Atlanta Zoo and do Panda Encounter where they can make beautiful and amazing memories OUTSIDE of the hospital!
