When Wolo was diagnosed with cancer last September, life changed overnight for her family. Wolo and her family came to the United States as refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo and have spent the last several years building a life here without the support of extended family nearby. Her mother is a single mom who became the sole provider for the family, but had to resign from her job to care for Wolo during treatment and support Wolo’s younger brother with autism. In the middle of navigating hospital stays, treatments, and financial uncertainty, the family is also grieving the heartbreaking loss of Wolo’s twin brother just a few months ago. With rent becoming increasingly difficult to manage after losing her income, your support is helping ease some of the overwhelming burden this family is carrying so mom can focus on what matters most, caring for her children and walking beside Wolo through her cancer journey. …

When Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia changed Liam’s life in January, it changed everything for his family too. After completing induction chemotherapy, Liam is now beginning consolidation treatment, and his mom made the heartbreaking decision to leave her job traveling to El Paso so she could remain by his side after her employer was unable to accommodate remote work. Along with the emotional weight of a childhood cancer diagnosis came countless unexpected medical and household expenses, creating immense financial strain for their family. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide support to help relieve some of that burden so Liam’s family can focus on what matters most: helping their brave boy continue his fight. #LiveLikeLuke …

Thank you for being part of the hope, relief, and support we are able to provide each month. 🧡 …

Baby J’s life began with urgency, as his family relocated to Dallas after learning prenatally of a serious heart condition. At just 5 days old, he underwent open-heart surgery and continues to fight through complications in the NICU, including NEC and SVT. While his mom remains at his bedside, his dad is at home caring for their 2-year-old daughter and has been unable to work for over a month. In order to keep up with basic expenses, the family has even had to empty their 401k.

Diagnosed with leukemia in 2022, Angel faced the unimaginable again when he relapsed last March. Since June of 2025, he has been in the hospital preparing for a bone marrow transplant. After his first transplant failed, Angel is now courageously undergoing a second transplant while battling significant side effects.

His mom remains faithfully at his bedside, while his dad is working tirelessly and making the 5-hour drive each week with Angel’s brother just to be together. The distance and long hospital stay have created a heavy financial strain, making utilities and a car payment overwhelming burdens.

At Live Like Luke, we are honored to help ease that burden so this family can focus on being together. 💙 Please keep Angel in your prayers and thank you for continuing to support families when they need it most. …

Baby T is an 18-month-old facing complex medical challenges that require frequent, extended hospital stays and life-sustaining care. Her long-term health depends on a successful kidney and possibly intestinal transplant.

During a prolonged hospitalization, Live Like Luke of Texas was able to cover the family’s rent and car payment, providing stability and relief so Mom could focus fully on what matters most—Baby T’s care.

Because of supporters like you, families like Baby T’s don’t have to choose between medical care and keeping a roof over their heads. …
