Three young brothers are fighting the same rare childhood cancer

Aaron and Angie Rush have three boys -- Tristen, 5, Caison, 3, and Carter, 7 months -- and all have been diagnosed with retinoblastoma. "It was a shock and it was a surprise. It was very emotional. It's hard to handle sometimes," Angie told CNN's sister network HLN."But they are such a blessing."

Poor babies- hope there is help

How devastating 😥

It disgusts me that they had to sell their home to pay for their little boys' medical treatment, what kind of country thinks that's okay? And here comes the thoughts, prayers and god bless them, also bloody useless when what these kids and their families need is free healthcare.

😢

😔😔😔

Praying

❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Trump will take away their Medicaid soon.

Can we get these boys some free healthcare?

Just throw the whole family away, make sure nobody else reproduces. Them genes are fucked up.
