Currently there are no updates going on. The family has traveled to Texas to start Brison to Dr. Burzynski’s clinic to start the next phase of his treatment. The costs for Brisons treatment, due to his oncologist refusing to give a certain treatment, has gone up. Their monthly fees have gone from $17,000 a month put to $26,000 a month. They are trying to get the additional treatments covered though a compassion program, prayers welcome for that!

We don’t know each other the way some others know this family but God continues to put them on my heart. I continue to pray for them and I will continue to update about them here. This family is in need of prayers for strength, peace, healing, financial help and God’s touch. He can move mountains, He can do anything He chooses and I do believe prayers can change things.
This family has been through more than anyone can possibly imagine. They have two children with cancer. They have to pay for one of their sons complete treatments. No one should EVER have to do that and yet they do. They don’t complain. They just keep pushing forward, they just keep on praying, and they just keep on going. They are doing whatever needs to be done to save their children.
If you feel moved please share. Please visit their gofundme site. Please pray. Please help any way that you can!
