Luna Evangeline Perez was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia standard risk high at the age of 2 on world cancer day (Feb 4, 2025). She has received over 15 blood and 12 platelet infusions and countless rounds of chemo(oral, IV, and spinal). Luna has gone through discomfort, pain, lack of privacy, side effects, isolation and still; she overcomes the fear and charges forward. Challenges military families face are hospital parking fees, copayments for medication issued at the hospital, fuel cost for appointments caused by chemo and cancer side effects (GI, PT, OT, speech, play therapy, and family counseling).

Our sweet Maggie Wren, just 2 years old, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Her initial white blood cell count was an unimaginable 440,000. She was so little, but from the very beginning, she showed us just how strong she could be. Chemotherapy started that very night. Maggie spent weeks fighting through intense treatment, countless blood and platelet transfusions, spinal taps, procedures, medications, and more hospital days than any child should ever have to endure. Leukemia cells were found in her spinal fluid, meaning she needed chemotherapy delivered directly into her spinal fluid as well. Genetic testing showed that Maggie’s leukemia carries a KMT2A (MLL) mutation, a high-risk feature that made her treatment even more aggressive. But Maggie kept fighting. She completed her first phase of treatment and, for a moment, we got the news every cancer family dreams of hearing: Maggie was in remission. On August 7, we were told she was in remission, and we thought we were finally moving toward the next chapter. Her bone marrow transplant was scheduled. We were preparing ourselves for another long hospitalization, but this time, we were preparing to bring her closer to the treatment that we hoped would keep leukemia away for good. Then everything changed again. Instead of being admitted for transplant, we were admitted because her leukemia had returned. This time, AML appeared on her scalp. Our hearts broke all over again. The transplant was put on hold, and Maggie began another round of intensive chemotherapy. She is once again fighting with everything she

Since then, he has endured 20 rounds of chemo, multiple rounds of immunotherapy, countless blood transfusions, procedures and hospital stays. His first surgery was stopped only 30% in, and after going 7 weeks without treatment his cancer progressed and we were told he had around a 20% chance of surviving.

Eva’s Story: A Little Girl Who Deserves to Just Be a Child Before cancer changed our lives, Eva was a bright, smart, and very active little girl who loved exploring the world around her. She loved nature, being curious about everything, and enjoying the little things that make childhood so special. Like many children her age, Eva loved playing on her iPad and playing Roblox. She deserved a childhood filled with adventures, laughter, learning, and happy memories. But our journey took a heartbreaking turn when Eva began experiencing persistent leg and buttock pain. For approximately five months, we searched for answers. We took her to multiple doctors’ offices and hospitals, hoping someone could explain why our little girl was suffering. Despite our efforts to find out what was wrong, her symptoms remained undiagnosed. On September 5, 2025, our lives changed forever. Eva was officially diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), a type of blood cancer. By the time Eva was diagnosed, approximately 65% of the cells in her bone marrow were cancerous. The disease had also affected the bones in her spine, leaving her with multiple compression fractures. The pain she had been experiencing was part of a much bigger battle than we could have imagined. As parents, there are no words to describe the heartbreak of learning that your child has cancer. All we wanted was to take away her pain and protect her from the suffering she was facing. Instead, we found ourselves navigating a world of hospital visits, blood tests, chemotherapy, and uncertainty about the future. Eva has had to face challenges that no child should ever have to experience. While other children her age can simply run, play, and enjoy their days, Eva has had to cope with cancer treatment and the lasting effects of damage to her growing bones. Yet Eva is still Eva. Behind the diagnosis is a smart, curious little girl who loves the world around her. She is a child with dreams, interests, and a future full of possibilities. She deserves to laugh, explore nature, play her favorite games, and make memories that have nothing to do with hospitals or cancer. Our greatest wish is for Eva to have the opportunity to enjoy her childhood again—to feel better, to experience less pain, to play freely, and to look forward to the future with excitement instead of medical appointments and treatments. We are sharing Eva’s story because we believe every child deserves moments of happiness, especially those whose childhoods have been interrupted by serious illness. The kindness and generosity of others can bring light into a family’s darkest moments. Sometimes, the gift of a happy experience, a special memory, or simply the chance to feel like a regular child again means more than words can express. Eva’s story is still being written. We hope that one day, when she looks back on her childhood, she will remember not only the difficult things she endured but also the love that surrounded her, the kindness of people who cared, and all the beautiful moments she was given along the way. Eva deserves more than to fight cancer. She deserves the chance to live, play, explore, dream, and simply be a little girl. With hope in our hearts, we look forward to the day when cancer is behind her and her childhood can be filled with the joy she deserves. Eva loves Ipad and play games like Roblox and Minecraft.
