Help Children with Cancer


This time of year, we are all thankful and full of excitement that the Holidays are here...But we must remember those families that are fighting the battle of their lives this holiday season. These are families whose children have cancer. They are not worried about getting a specific toy...at the best price. They are praying that everyday their child can endure the chemo treatments and hoping for a miracle. The image above is of a little boy who is dear to my heart - "Baby Jay". His mom was my room-mate and best friend in college. Jay Gaskins was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma (a malignant brain tumor) in September 2003, when he was only 2 1/2 years old. Baby Jay lives with Jesus now and we miss him dearly. His parents Jason and Cindy, with sister Kaitlyn and brother Tanner have started a foundation in his honor. The Jay's Hope Foundation. This is an amazing foundation that helps other families deal with the emotional and financial situations that cancer brings. Click here to read Baby Jay's full story.
