When Zoey was just 12 weeks old, her family learned that she had acute myeloid leukemia.
What followed was seven months of hospital stays, PICU admissions, unimaginable complications, and difficult decisions no parent should ever have to make.
And through it all was her big brother, Archer.
At just five years old, Archer became Zoey's bone marrow donor.
His courage became part of the story that helped bring Zoey to where she is today: six months post-transplant, laughing, walking, making joyful messes, and filling her family's home with hope.
But Archer's role in Zoey's story is just one part of what makes this family so remarkable.
While Zoey fought to get well, her parents were doing everything they could to care for both children. Her father left his job so one parent could always be with Zoey while the other cared for Archer. Every day brought another trip to the hospital, another parking fee, another meal away from home, and another financial burden.
That's the part of childhood cancer many people don't see.
The cancer diagnosis belongs to one child, but the impact reaches the entire family.
That's why support matters.
That's why community matters.
And that's why stories like Zoey's matter.
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, you can help another family stay focused on healing—not on how they'll afford another trip to treatment. Give hope today: https://give.childrenscancerpartners.org/campaign/822461/donate
