Sponsor A Brave Gown For Four-Year-Old Hank w/ Bilateral Wilms Tumor

$ 30.00

This gown will be gifted to four-year-old Hank who iscurrently going through treatment for Bilateral Wilms tumor. This is what his family shared with us about his journey:

"On May 25, 2026, our lives changed in an instant when our vibrant, perfectly healthy 4-year-old boy, Hank, was diagnosed with Bilateral Wilms tumor. He immediately began six weeks of chemotherapy in our hometown of Knoxville, TN.

During his six-week scan on July 1st, we received mixed news: while the tumors on his left kidney were responding to treatment, the massive tumor on his right kidney showed no improvement. We immediately had his records sent to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. On Monday, July 6th, we spoke with Dr. Davidoff, who highly recommended the removal of Hank's right kidney and the tumor.

We quickly made the trip to Memphis on July 8th, and Hank underwent surgery on July 10th. He is currently recovering here in Memphis. Once he was cleared, we returned home to Knoxville and begin a more intensive round of chemotherapy. After 3 weeks at home of chemotherapy, we returned to st Jude for surgery to remove the remaining tumors on his left kidney. Based on the pathology of the right tumor, Hank will also receive radiation therapy, which will take place at St. Jude. We will then come back to Knoxville for 45 more chemo treatments.

This journey has been incredibly difficult on our family. Before this, Hank was a typical, healthy little boy who loved going to daycare, where he has so many close friends. Most of all, he misses his younger sister and "built-in best friend," Saylor. It has been heartbreaking to be away from her for as much as we have. She will come to St Jude with us during the weeks following surgery while we navigate radiation appointments 5 days a week.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for considering supporting our sweet boy."
