Team Blake

Blake was diagnosed with AML on Dec 28, 2015. Treatment has failed and stem cell transplant also fail But Jesus said, " Let the children come to me.

Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like children." Matthew 19:14
Children must have been pretty important for Jesus to be quoted three out of the four gospels. Indeed they are important and to be entrusted with children on this planet is one of the greatest honors God gives parents. We love them, we teach them, we discipline them, and sometimes we must also witness

their illness. This website is designed to post prayers, thoughts, and pictures at anytime from all of our prayer warriors and supporters.

March 7, 2017 is a day I will never forget; a day I can picture so vividly that it literally takes my breath away. It's hard to believe its been 9 years since we last held you in our arms. Your absence is felt in every moment. We still feel the weight of both love and loss in ways words cant quite capture. We were blessed with a beautiful baby boy and then had to say goodbye in two short years.

You showed me that I am stronger than I ever thought possible and that tomorrow is never promised. I had so many earthly dreams for you. We were going to spend our days reading books, taking walks, playing in the dirt, and so much more. Instead we spend half of your life inside of hospital rooms. I know you are growing and rejoicing in heaven and that does bring some comfort.

While a piece of my heart went to heaven with you, I smile through the tears and heartache. You, my sweet son, brought me so much happiness in your short time here. You were my biggest dream and my greatest adventure. Today we will try our hardest to remember the good times and celebrate you. Mommy and daddy love you so very much Blakey ❤️

On March 7th 2017, we lost our beautiful, baby boy to cancer. We still grieve to this day, but we are comforted knowing Blake is free of pain and in the arms of Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior.

On this difficult day, we like to honor the memory of Blake by doing random acts of kindness. We believe turning such a difficult day into a legacy of love through random acts of kindness is a beautiful way to honor our son. As we remember Blake on this special day, and we see others doing the same, it brings our family a sense of pride and gratitude for having been given such a precious gift from God.

Please help us remember Blake on March 7th by performing a random act of kindness in his memory. We would love to see your post, so be sure to tag Team Blake and add to your post.

We would like to announce our first 20/30 Club of Topeka grant recipient for 2026, Ember. Her family said the following when describing their precious daughter:

To start off, if you’ve never had the chance to meet Ember, you’re missing out on one of the happiest, bravest, and most energetic girls you’ve met. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left knee just a couple weeks after her 10th birthday in July. Since then she has strongly battled chemotherapy, had surgery to remove the cancer, and now getting a prosthetic to get back to enjoying life. She’s got goals of becoming a fashion designer, and to play tennis as she grows up. She’s also artistic, loves to paint, color, and draw. Favorite pastime is reading. Small books big books, it doesn’t matter she’ll try to read it. She loves being outside and enjoys spending time with her siblings. Like most girls her age, her favorite color is purple. She’s tells the best animal jokes, and loves a great laugh. She has overcome so much and she continues to strive to be the best version of herself. If you’d like to contribute or donate to Ember and help her reach her goals, here’s the chime for her. $Matt-Henry-13.

Ember, we are holding you in our prayers, sweet girl! 💛

Right before Christmas, we delivered another 40 bags and a few Toys for the Pediatric Unit at Stormont Vail. Thank you for blessing these children! None of this would be possible without you all. I hope your Christmas was filled with love, joy, and laughter!

You would be 11 today.... it's been 3,212 days since I last held you. We just celebrated your sister's 13th birthday this weekend and its so hard to think she was just a tiny little toddler when you passed away.

There isnt a moment that goes by when I dont think of you, but today, the day you blessed this world with your presence, the love and ache feel particularly strong. I remember the joy of your birth and every beautiful, challenging, and courageous moment we shared.

Im not sure how I have lived without you this long. Somehow, I have learned to live with the pain of your absence. I miss my best friend. You were always there, always listening to mama, always holding my hand, listening to my worries, celebrating happy times, sleeping next to me every single nap and evening. You were my buddy. My everything. My body yearns for you with every single cell inside of me.

Your battle with cancer showed a strength and grace that inspired everyone around you. You fought so hard, my brave boy, my hero. Although you left this world far to soon, your light still shines bright and will never be extinguished. You are still changing lives to this day and that makes me so very proud of you.

I wish I could hold you, bake your favorite cake, and hear you laugh. Today, I will put on my brave face and celebrate you. I will celebrate you and all of our memories we had together. You brought more light and love into my life in your short time here than many do in a lifetime.

I love you with all my heart, until my last breath, and beyond the grave. Until we meet again...

Happy Birthday baby boy.

Love,
Mom

Today we dropped off 70 bags full of so much love to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Blake was treated here for half his life and I really appreciate every single nurse, doctor, volunteer, and child life specialist that took care of us. The care was phenomenal every day we were there.

Although, this is a hard time of year with Blake's birthday and diagnosis day, this act of kindness certainly eases the pain. There are so many emotions with this drop off that I can not explain. So many memories.

The one things the volunteers kept saying was," When I look at this, I see a community, a community that continues to surround you. " And he is so right. We have the best community in Topeka and all over who continue to support our mission. It's because of your kindness, and donations that we are able to bless so many kids like Blake.

Thank you all, we are so grateful for your continued support. You have no clue how much you blessed a child's life this week ❤️

One of the first families we helped as a foundation, and one still very near and dear to our hearts, has fallen on hard times. Two years ago, the mother had a brain hemorrhage that has left her hospitalized needing round the clock care. With their father out of the country, 3 children have been cared for by an adult, sibling and extended family. They do not have much and we knew immediately that we wanted to make sure that they have a special Christmas. One of the wish lists they had, had a special request we needed some help to make come true. The boy's dream is to be able to learn to play the guitar. When we reached out to Nappys Place Guitars, they donated a guitar to fulfill a Christmas wish! Seriously the nicest family ever that owns this business! A father amd son own this new business and as soon as we called asking for prices on guitars they wanted to donate a guitar, fully paid for by them! Thank you for helping making this Christmas special during such a tough time.

Please check out this new business and the amazing owners Nappy's Place Guitars! Their address is 3308 SW 6th Ave., Topeka, KS 66606. Truly, wonderful people who blessed this family!

We were so honored that Ohmygoodies LLC by Sara Jean chose our Foundation to donate all these wonderful toys to! All of these amazing toys will be gifted to children who are hospitalized during the holidays. Sara even went out herself, on Black Friday, and handpicked every single toy!

If you do not know all about her cakes and fundraising she does, then please check out her page! I could have sat for hours and listened to all the amazing things she is doing for our community and all the stories behind the cakes she makes. She is truly a blessing to so many! Thank you for being such a bright light and for blessing so many children this holiday season!
