This month marks the 3 year anniversary of Olivia’s original cancer diagnosis. “Olivia has cancer” are never words we thought we’d EVER hear! She’s been through it all in the last 3 years, so close to not making it more than once! Today Olivia is doing great! Of course she has some minor issues that are residual effects from chemo therapy and other drugs but we’ll take that to have Olivia with us today!

One thing that got Olivia through the grueling bone marrow transplant process was the thought of taking a vacation with family to the beach! It is because of this that Olivia created Liv it Up with the opportunity to provide families with childhood cancer patients or children with other life threatening illnesses money towards something they enjoy doing together!

Olivia received excess money that was donated to help cover the cost of her bone marrow transplant. Luckily everything went as planned an extended (more costly) stay was not necessary! She WANTS to offer this money to other families to create family normalcy so families can forget about cancer for a few days!

If you want to apply or you know of someone that should apply go to www.livitup4kids.com and click the application link! We look forward to hearing from more families!

Aleigha was diagnosed with ALL B cell very high risk Leukemia at age 15. She is still undergoing treatment and is now 17. She jas experienced every single grueling side effect of medications and chemo possible. All she wants is to be a normal 17 year old teen. To go on a vacation that she so much more than deserves. As a single mom, the costs that come along with a cancer diagnosis and minimal living family members, it is impossible for me to afford to take her anywhere. I seen this in my newsfeed and thought it was worth a shot. So glad that Jesus healed you and pray for Gods hand of health over your life.

Hi There!
I’m not 100% sure what I’m hoping for is something that your foundation is able to do. My daughter, Nyla, was diagnosed with VHR ALL with a Philadelphia-like chromosome in October of 2017. Frontline treatment took 13 months for her, but thankfully, maintenance has been a lot better & she is thriving. The one thing she has BEGGED for throughout treatment, has been a dog. There have been numerous barriers to making this happen though. She has allergies to most pets, but is desperate to have a support animal to sleep with her. Is there any possibility that in lieu of a family trip that Nyla would be able to receive a therapy dog??

Wyatt was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma at age 3 in 2014. He underwent countless chemos, 20 rounds of radiation a bone marrow transplant and surgeries. He got remission in July of 2015 but relapsed only 7 months later. He was just diagnosed for a FOURTH time two weeks ago. This time they are giving him Liguid oral chemo with a study drug called wee1 inhibitors (5 pills). During his last battle he tried the new antibody therapy (hu3f8) to which he died on the table and crash cart was called. We did do MAW years ago however he was too small to fully enjoy it. We are trying to save for another family trip (5 of us) to Disney/universal.
