OCEAN COUNTY – A local family is facing an unimaginable challenge after their 3-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
The Misiura’s family life was turned upside down in 48 hours, when they learned that their son Leo was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma leukemia.
“Leo the lion is a brave, bright, and incredible 3-year-old who deserves a future filled with joy and opportunities,” wrote Stacy and Scott Klemas, who are family friends.
Leo now needs critical medical treatment, and the financial burden is overwhelming. The community has rallied to support the family, raising over $20,000 on GoFundMe. Donations will be used to help ease medical expenses as well as give Leo the treatments he needs for a chance at a future.
“This is a journey no family should have to walk alone, and that’s where we come in,” the GoFundMe states.
