Allow us to introduce you to our little Matteo. He is just under three years old and to say that he is the light of our lives would be a major understatement. Matteo is a happy child who loves to play with his brothers, cousins, family and friends (and he has no problem keeping up with the bigger ones!!). On Wednesday November 26, 2014 our family received the news that no-one wants to hear about their loved one, especially a child. Our sweet Matteo was diagnosed with Cancer, specifically a Wilms tumor. The days that followed would prove to be quite probably (and hopefully) the worst days we will have to experience in our lives. Matteo battled through a 7 hour operation where the tumor, along with his kidney and part of his diaphragm, were removed. Before the surgery he was such a strong little boy which helped him make it through. The pain medication and fear of being touched, poked or even held, have taken that once happy smile from his beautiful face. It saddens all of us to see him going through this, only wanting to be in his parents’ safe arms and home again. The next 6 months will be challenging for him as he will need to undergo chemotherapy treatments once a week for 28 weeks. In addition he will start a round of 8 radiation treatments this week. The road back to a “normal life” will be long, but Matteo has a tremendous support system that will help him and his family every step of the way. During the time that Matteo is going through Chemo, his Mom will not be working as she will need to be at home caring for him through the next several months. As you can imagine, the bills will soon start rolling in. The last thing that parents helping their child battle cancer need is the burden of medical debt over their heads. For this, we are asking for your help, give whatever you can to help take some of the stress out of their lives, they’ve been through enough already. Every dollar makes a difference and will help to allow Matteo’s family concentrate on the most important thing, MATTEO GETTING BETTER!!! Thanks to all of you for your support, well wishes and your prayers. Together we will make this long road seem more walkable. Love and Peace to All, Matteo's Grateful Family
