Jaidyn’s big smile and high energy make it hard to believe he is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Here is his story: 💛👇
"Hi, my name is Jaidyn. I am 7 years old and fighting cancer. I was diagnosed with leukemia on January 22, 2024. I was supposed to ring the bell on June 4th of this year, but I ended up with AML/MDS, so I couldn't ring it yet. I went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, but they didn't have the exact care I needed. Now, I am back at OSF HealthCare waiting for Chicago to accept me for my bone marrow transplant! I am a fun-loving boy full of energy, and I can't wait to get this journey over with and be a healthy boy so I can play, go to school, and travel!"
Jaidyn, you are so brave, and Family House is rooting for you! We are all in your corner. 💪🎗️
