Madison Kitz was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer, Wilms Tumor, just three months after her birth. Weeks of chemotherapy couldn’t get rid of the tumor, the size of a grape fruit, from her kidney. It was removed. She was just a baby, five months old. Soon after, doctors found this aggressive cancer in her second kidney. For the next five years, this little girl lived a life no one on earth should have to endure. She’s been in-and-out of the hospital, had several surgeries, received countless amounts of chemo, and radiation treatments. She’s even lost all her hair. At the young age of six, her second kidney was removed. Since then, she’s had dialysis treatments three-times a week.
Madison is an inspiration to everyone around her. With her spunk and drive she somehow finds a smile, in spite of it all. She knows no different than to keep fighting, but now she and her family need our support to carry them through these difficult times.
We’ve all heard every penny counts well, it is true. Your kindness can make a direct difference in this family’s well-being. |
