Help Fund Hope: Advancing Research to Save Children Like Eli – St. Baldrick’s Foundation
St. Baldrick’s Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Eli had an infectious smile and loved anything Daniel Tiger. At the age of 2, he was diagnosed with high-risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia on December 6, 2021. On January 18, 2022, he went into remission, but the cancer returned a year later.
Eli endured months of treatment to prepare for a stem cell transplant in May 2023. His dad’s stem cells were only a 50% match, but it was still his best shot at survival.
Post-transplant, Eli’s prognosis was looking good, but as he was about to head home, he suffered from a handful of health issues, including fevers, parainfluenza, and fungus in his bloodstream.
After a bronchoscopy, which was needed after he contracted cytomegalovirus, he ended up intubated and in the PICU, and 3 weeks later, Eli passed away.
As his mom Rosemary, shares, “We are forever grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to be [Eli’s] parents. Our kids deserve so much more.”
There weren’t enough treatment options to save Eli and by donating today, you can help fund the next potential breakthrough to save a life, the life of a child with cancer.”
