Back To Michigan

Posted by: Wes In: News

Unfortunately I’ll be back in Michigan for about a month.  I’ll be doing a round of chemotherapy followed by a stay in the hospital.  When my blood counts recover from my chemotherapy then I will be able to return home.

Wes has been diagnosed with the beginnings of Leukemia, without treatment Wes' condition is fatal. Father, Brian works in Alberta as a pipe fitter, however, as Wes' condition has gotten worse has had to take a layoff to take care of his family. Mother, Maureen works on an assembly line to help make ends meet.

The situation for Wes and his family is not good. Wes' only chance is to receive newly-developed treatments in the United States. With no out-of-country insurance, the Laporte family are reaching out to the community to aid funding, and to ultimately save their son's life.
