Update: Thank you to everyone who has ordered and support Rupert and his family!!! I wanted to provide an update from Rupert’s family as of 4/25:
“We completed cycle #1 (3 weeks) of chemotherapy! All things considered Rupert has done amazing and you would barely know that he is currently undergoing treatment. No nausea, no hair loss (yet), we’re eating again, and not too tired.
Each week we seem to get another medication to administer. Now on the list is antibiotics given 2/7 days a week for the duration of treatment and for 6 months after completion. Rupert is not a fan so this could be a tough ride each week 😅
Next week starts cycle #2 and a different chemo drug is introduced - apparently this one isn’t much fun so we’ll see how he does.“
Original Post:
This past week, a friend of mine got devastating news, her three year old son has stage IV Wilms Tumor. They started chemotherapy this week. Jo and Adam are wonderful parents working tirelessly to keep a semblance of normal for their 3 kids, while navigating this new reality and aggressive treatment.
Feeling quite helpless and not knowing how to support properly, I did the only thing I knew how and designed two different shirts in honor of our little fighter, Rupert.
All Profits (I will only be touching the straight up cost of making the shirts) for the shirts is going directly to Rupert and his family to support them during this time.
There are two ways to order:
1) directly through my Etsy: CraftedbyKBCstore.etsy.com
2) directly through me (dm me here or on my Facebook) if you want either of the designs in a different size/color/type of shirt (this option you can pick up in Framingham or have it shipped out for an additional fee).
Adult shirts: $30.00
Kids shirts: $25.00
Baby/Toddy: $25.00
Most importantly send all your love, prayers, best wishes, good vibes to Rupert and the whole Skelton Family. I will be including their CaringBridge site in the comments where you can follow along this journey.
