A three-year-old boy from Brgy. Inayawan, Cebu City is sincerely appealing for urgent financial help as he fights the big C through chemotherapy treatment. Callie Melton Quimada was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on June 24, 2022. His condition began unexpectedly a few days before his diagnosis. He experienced a recurring cough and difficulty walking due to joint pains. After that, he was admitted to a hospital in Cebu City because he had a fever, mouth sores, and swollen lymph nodes on his neck. He was pale and his abdomen was increasing in size too. These terrifying symptoms worried his parents.
Callie’s journey against cancer began when his first chemotherapy was administered on July 7, 2022. In order to attain complete healing, his attending pediatric hematologist-oncologist prescribed a treatment protocol that they will follow for three years. Indeed, the lengthy treatment and its costly nature bring immense physical challenges to the child and financial burdens to the parents. Presently, he is in the induction phase, the first part of his treatment.
Callie is a good-hearted and sweet little boy. He likes to play with his toy cars and robots. He also loves drawing, coloring, and solving puzzles. As the only child in the family, his parents love him deeply. When asked about her wish for Callie, his mother gently answered, “We only have one wish for him: his sustained healing and full recovery. I also pray that we can continue to provide for him to support his treatment.
