Bishop Strickland shared a fundraising campaign for little Solomon, who has brain cancer and needs a very expensive treatment.
This Thanksgiving, as we thank God for our blessings, we should also remember those who are suffering this holiday season. Baby Solomon has aggressive stage four brain cancer, and the treatment that might save his life costs $370,000. His desperate mother is trying to raise the money
Below are a few excerpts from Solomon’s mother’s write up:
For years I prayed to God to give me a child, and then He gave me Solomon. Now I am pleading for help to save his life; my baby has brain cancer, an extremely aggressive medulloblastoma, and his life costs $370,000… How can a baby, who only a few days earlier was smiling at everyone and playing, have terminal cancer????? I know these are unanswered questions, but I can’t suppress them. I prayed for five years, Lord, to give me this child. Now I beg You, Lord, not to take him away.
I pray to God that we can raise the money needed for treatment; unfortunately, the cost estimate from the hospital is $370,000 for high-dose treatment and stem cell transplant. It will be a very tough treatment, in high doses, and Solomon will be isolated in a completely sterile room.
This Thanksgiving, give the gift of a life.
