How you are making a difference

At age 24, James has been diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma. James is a successful young man who owns his own landscaping business. Not only is his truck his livelihood it is also his mode of transportation for his numerous visits to Barnes Jewish Hospital for treatment. James requested that we repair his 2001 truck so he could carry out his day-to-day routine while battling cancer. CJ’s Journey fulfilled his request and replaced his brakes, muffler, installed a new seat belt, and new transmission. CJ’s Journey was able to grant this request for James through our Journey Support Program.

Let’s face it with a cancer diagnosis you no longer get to always choose what you want to do, or when you want to do it.  Your treatment plan of chemotherapy, radiation and multiple surgeries, not to mention the sickness you feel from these treatments begins to dictate your unwanted “new life”. Many of these children, teens and young adults want to feel a sense of normalcy after a diagnosis. We find this especially true in young adults, who are often in college, have jobs and often have families to care for as well. This is where CJ’s Journey comes in - we have made it our goal to make a difference in their lives. To help them enjoy the little things in between the treatments.

At 21, Andy, was also diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Like many young adults receiving treatment for cancer he turns to his video games as a much needed relief after long hours of chemotherapy. Andy’s request was to make his game playing even more enjoyable with a new 64-inch television. CJ’s Journey was able to purchase and deliver Andy’s new TV, which you can see by the photo below just made him smile from ear to ear. Andy’s new television was another product of the Journey Support Program.

Treatment for cancer requires long hours while chemotherapy and radiation AKA poisons are pumped into your body. The pain that these children, teens and young adults endure can be unbearable. While they are dealing with the pain everyone is wondering if the treatment will work; will the tumors shrink; will I live or die? These throughts would be difficult enough for a 50 year old individual, now think about these thoughts as a child, teen or young adult just barely 25.

We know we can’t make the pain go away, but we are able to make a difference in a patients life because of your continued support. I thank you for helping CJ’s Journey make a difference in the lives of children, teens and young adults fighting cancer - we couldn’t do what we do without you.

Stay Positive, Be Happy and Continue to Smile…Jeanine
