RFA – Logan (Age 20) *approved / completed 09/28/2023*

Submitted 09/20/2023

DIAGNOSIS: Lyposarcoma

DATE OF DIAGNOSIS: 06/28/2021

PHYSICIAN: Dr. James L Chen, MD

HOSPITAL: OSU The James

THE NEED:
Travel expenses to get second opinions and possible treatments/treatment options from other hospitals. We have appointments with Cleveland Clinic and we a referral to Memorial Sloan Kettering. Radiation is one of the next steps, but is only offered in Cincinnati for the type that he needs due to the cancer being around his heart. We are also a patient with MD Anderson which could open new opportunities for trials, depending on how our current appointments and treatments play out. Thank you!

RFA – Hana (Age 16) *approved/completed 07/07/2022*

Submitted 06/24/2022

DIAGNOSIS: Bone and upper right arm soft tissue sarcoma. Surgery was 6/23/2022

DATE OF DIAGNOSIS: 6/8/2022

PHYSICIAN: Felasfa M. Wodajo, MD

HOSPITAL: Inova Fairfax, Fairfax, VA

THE NEED:
Dear Finish Sarcoma,

I feel we are still in shock as we just had surgery yesterday (6/23/2022) and “it was not good” and our doctor is “worried.” We have additional tests that we should find the results on this Wednesday. Her surgery was over 4 hours and incision over 6″. The Doctor anticipated a 1 hour and 1″… so needless to say, it was a horrible day.

Our daughter is a bright, thoughtful and sweet 16 year old who love Theater and the Arts. She is one of the kindest souls you’d ever meet!

I would like to take her to a play and/or help pay our medical bills please. We are not a wealthy family, but we do have hope and faith.

We support our veteran community with volunteering for Warrior Canine Connection as other veteran-centric efforts.

I think I’m rambling on here….Thank you for showing us support through your Organization! We are scared as heck…and are hoping for a successful end result! Thanks for being there! Mike
