Help Gideon and family battle leukemia

Update: this has been a really rough 8 months.

Shortly after Gideon was diagnosed and they were sent to Seattle, my daughter Sami passed from a pulmonary embolism. We have not had a chance to grieve together due to them being two states away. Their landlord doubled their rent and I have been helping them move to another house so it would be a better home for them to come home to. He has gotten to the point where he could come home and go to Kalispell for his treatments. However, their vehicle needs some repairs and is unreliable to get them there. With having just moved and the costs of that and the fact that Dani can not work right now they can not afford the repairs. When they have the vehicle fixed they can come home. Which is something all of us need. If anyone can please help so my daughter and her boys can come home, it would mean more than you can imagine.

Hi. My names is Deb and I am starting this for my daughter Dani and her family. Dani and Jesse have a 12 yr old daughter Addi, 8 yr old son Evander, and 3 yr old twins Gideon and Hezekiah. Over the last few months Gideon was running a fever and always saying his legs hurt. Dani kept taking him to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything. Finally when he started losing weight, the doctors ran more tests. When the tests came back with more questions than answers, they flew them to Logan Healthcare Children's in Kalispell. At this point the did more tests and biopsies. This is when they diagnosed him with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. There were some symptoms they were unsure of and wanted to make sure there were no underlying conditions so they flew them to Seattle Children's. After more tests and biopsies they believe all of his symptoms are from the leukemia and they have started his chemo. The good news is there is an 85 to 95% cure rate. The bad news is he will have to go through chemo for 3 years. After the first month of chemo he will be flown back to Logan Healthcare in Kalispell, MT for more chemo. Then they will be able to go home until his next treatment.

All of this is extremely hard on the whole family. Dani and Gideon are in Seattle while Jesse is in Great Falls trying to take care of the rest of the children and stay working. Their older daughter is also having some medical issues of her own, which Jesse is handling as well as trying to find daycare for Gideon's twin so he can work. They haven't been in daycare because Dani and Jesse worked opposite shifts so they could have one of them with the kids at all times. Dani had to quit working to go with Gideon. She will not be able to go

back to work for quite awhile, so she can take care of him. They will have to make the trip to Kalispell from Great Falls and back for his chemo treatments at least 1 to 2 times a month for the next 3 years. Their vehicle is in need of repairs in order to be able to make the drive safely that many times. The amount of emotional struggles they are going through right now between the diagnosis and being separated from each other is hard enough to deal with, they do not need the financial stress on top of it. Anything anyone can do to help would be greatly appreciated to keep the financial stress down for them and ensure they can get to and from his chemo treatments.

Gideon is so strong for a 3yr old but he doesn't understand any of the pain or being separated from his twin, other siblings and daddy. All of them are doing their best to step into new roles in life and all the upheaval that has come from this diagnosis and being separated from each other. I want them to not have to worry about the financial hardships that come from this and be able to concentrate on getting him better.
