Staples-Samuels Family Fundraiser
💙Help Support Declan And His Family💙This donation will help the Staples-Samuels Family cover expenses while Declan and his family deal with his recent diagnosis. Declan is a brave 3rd grader at Conway Elementary School who was recently diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. He's the youngest of three kids, and his mom—a devoted single mother—is doing everything she can to care for him while also supporting her family. She has taken FMLA leave from work to be by Declan's side during treatment, but that means she's currently unpaid. Her parents are helping where they can, but the financial strain is real and growing.Declan is a bright, kind-hearted boy who loves sharks, fish, and fishing, and he's happiest when he's building with Legos or playing Roblox. He has a whole community behind him—but right now, this family needs a little extra help. We're hoping to ease some of the stress by providing:Gas cards (for traveling to and from medical appointments)Grocery/food cardsGeneral financial support to cover basic expenses during this challenging timeEvery little bit helps—whether it's a donation, a share, or simply keeping Declan and his family in your thoughts.If you can help in any way, it would mean the world. 💙🦈Monetary Donations can be made online.
