Another Way to Help: Amazon, Target, Starbucks gift cards

Hello everyone,

As Mike, Colleen and Caleb are settling in, they're finding that they need more things for their room and for Caleb. They said Amazon and Target would be really helpful and Starbucks so that we can keep the little big man stocked with cake pops (but seriously, they're one of the only things he feels like eating right now). I'm putting it on the calendar so that they don't get too many of any specific kind.  Thank you all so much! We are all so grateful for your love and support![...]

A way to help!

Hello everyone,

We thought it might be helpful for Mike and Colleen to have access to food delivery services while they're in the hospital. We want to try and get a meal covered for each day they are there. If you click on the calendar tab in the top right corner of your screen (or click here caring-for-caleb calendar), you'll see on the calendar that anything in green is a day that we will still need a gift card for.  I didn't want them to get more than they could use.  Please post any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer ASAP.[...]

Hello all,

For all of you incredibly supportive people who are looking to help or send something to Mike and Colleen... Thank you so much. Right now, with them being at the hospital they seem to have what they need. As long as everything goes well with the first round of chemo they'll be at home after these 30 days. For that next 6-8 months of the outpatient chemo is when they will need meals and such. I'll be posting all of that on the calendar once we get closer. I'll also post any needs that arise while they're at the hospital.[...]

Thank you for supporting

On Tuesday - Jan. 22nd, Colleen and Mike took Caleb to the Emergency Department at AI Dupont Childrens Hospital.  They were admitted to the hospital, and after a series of tests including a bone marrow biopsy, Caleb was diagnosed with Pre B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  They will be living at the hospital with him for the next 30 days while he gets his first round of chemotherapy. After the 30 days, they will reassess the plan moving forward depending on how he responds to this first round.   [...]
