is a non-profit organization created in memory of Cristabel Leal Rodriguez who endured a yearlong battle with brain cancer before making her way to Heaven on March 7, 2021. It is dedicated to raising awareness of pediatric cancer and other pediatric life-threatening conditions or diseases, and financially assisting families in the South Plains area in those situations. TeamCrista Foundation, Inc.,

also conducts fund raising events with the help of the community and other generous donors to raise funds to assist families experiencing the financial burdens that come with everything the illness brings upon a family, i.e. hospital bills, medications, other out-of-pocket medical expenses, travel, food, bills, etc. The family of Cristabel Rodriguez personally knows that "every little bit counts." Therefore, with the continuous help of the community and other local sponsors, TeamCrista Foundation, Inc., will strive to make every fund raising event a success in hopes that families in the South Plains area have as much financial support as theirs did during Cristabel's treatments. also plans to bring awareness to as many fund raising events as possible by providing participants with information on early signs and symptoms of various pediatric cancers and illnesses. TeamCrista Foundation was founded by her parents, Frankie and Christina Rodriguez, their son Frankie Jr., and close friends. The foundation currently has several members.

"Treatment has finished and my child is completely different. No longer happy, bouncy and adventurous. Now he's scared, in pain and still suffering years later." ~ Sallie

A childhood cancer diagnosis changes everything.

For thousands of families across Canada, the unimaginable is their reality.

Throughout Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're sharing the words of families who know what childhood cancer really looks like - from diagnosis, through treatment, and beyond.

Thank you, Sallie, for trusting us with your unimaginable. 💛

This September, we're asking you to stand with children and families facing childhood cancer.

Let's Face the Unimaginable, together.

Donate today to help ensure no family faces childhood cancer alone.

Music has the power to bring comfort, joy, and hope during difficult days. 🎶

After spending 21 days in the hospital while battling cancer, Kyler received a special gift: his very own ukulele. With support from our Music Therapy team, Kyler has been able to explore music as a creative outlet throughout his hospital stay.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Ukulele Kids Club Inc., which helps bring the gift of music to children facing medical challenges. Moments like these remind us that healing extends beyond medicine and can be found in the comfort of a favorite song, a new hobby, or a moment of joy. 💙

Jett went under with anesthesia at 11:40 AM today. I finally got the call to come back to see him at 3:23 PM. When I got down to recovery at 3:30, the nurse let me know that his leg wouldn't extend all the way straight. Poor guy woke up mumbling, "My leg hurts, my leg hurts," and my heart just broke for him. They gave him liquid fentanyl a few times, but when that wasn't helping, they moved to morphine.
After about 15 minutes, he started begging, "Mom, fix my leg, it hurts." Seeing him in that kind of pain is so hard.
We are really hoping these scans finally show us why Jett stopped walking and, most importantly, that no new tumors have appeared.
We are finally back up in his room on the 5th floor now, resting up and watching Pinocchio. He requested fresh fruit, so I had some DoorDashed from Safeway, and he’s nibbling on that. The hospital pain team will be in tomorrow morning to figure out the best plan for him moving forward.
On top of the leg pain, his kidney creatinine levels were really elevated when Jett got here, so they’ve been running fluids continuously to flush everything out. Thankfully, his levels have finally dropped down to a safer range, but he will need to go back on home infusions once we are discharged.
Thank you all for the love, text messages, and prayers. We’ll keep everyone updated once we talk to the pain team tomorrow! Right now Jett said...mom come sit by me and can you just stay right here ❤️
