Naustin's Gnomes

Planting a Garden of Hope & Love

We are raising money to help one of our own; a Lucid Speech and Language Clinic, Inc. family in great need. Naustin was diagnosed with high risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on April 28th of 2012 just days after his 3rd birthday.

Naustin's parents took him to the doctor in April due to a fever and some regression in speech as well as an unwillingness to walk. They were told to take Naustin home and return if he did not start feeling better. They watched their baby become more detached and distant and took him back right away. The doctor ran some tests and told them to go to the hospital. Two days later they found out their son had cancer.

The family spent the month of May at Rady's Hospital in San Diego receiving chemo therapy. His mother would not leave his side. After the month more testing was done and it was found that not all of Naustin's cancer was gone and the new treatment plan required more intense chemo therapy which is causing Naustin to be very sick and tired. The treatment plan involves chemotherapy for 3 ½ years. He will have a weakened immune system, which means any infection or fever will need to be treated through hospitalization.

Between insurance deductibles, co-pays, transportation to and from the hospital, multiple medications, only being able to maintain one income so that mom can stay home and care for him, and the fact that they need to make a move to a healthier house to keep Naustin safe, we can imagine the debt is adding up quickly.



His mother speaks of him missing a normal childhood while he goes through chemo for these years and thinks about how this will affect his future. Let's help give her one less thing to worry about.



All money collected will go DIRECTLY towards his family and paying medical bills and other costs related to his treatment.

Thank you for helping the Olsen family
