About

Wes Laporte, 18, local to Belle River, ON with family; Brian (father), Maureen (mother) and Brother Matthew have been thrown into a roller coaster of issues. 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.
