Victor Oladipo writes adorable letter to a Danville kid fighting Leukemia

As the Danville community rallies around Cameron Kirk, a 10-year-old who is fighting Leukemia, Victor Oladipo is doing his part to chip in.

The Indiana Pacers guard wrote a letter to Kirk encouraging him to stay strong through treatments.

Hey Cameron! I recently heard about your battle with Leukemia, and I just wanted to encourage you to stay strong! I know this is a scary and very frustrating time right now, but you must believe in yourself and everyone around you that is helping you through this time. May God give you the strength, comfort, and special blessings that you need as you face each new day. No matter the road you are given, remember to never give up. You never know what God has planned or your life. I wish you all the best through your treatment and encourage you to keep a positive attitude and listen to your doctors, nurses and parents -- they are there to help you win this battle! All my teammates and I are #CameronStrong! All the best,

For Cameron's mother, Carrie Kirk, it was a dream come true. For weeks now, she's had to watch her son grow pale and weak as he undergoes extensive chemotherapy treatments. The fight is just beginning, too, as Cameron will have at least three years of treatment.

Getting a letter from the young All-Star during the NBA Playoffs put a smile on Cameron's face, which is all Carrie could ask for.

"I won't tell you what (Cameron) said about LeBron," she said with a laugh. "He has just been very thankful that Victor would take the time to do this during the playoffs. He's a very quiet kid, especially with what's been going on.

"He just paused for a moment, and had this huge grin on his face. You could just tell."

Cameron was diagnosed on April 16 and started taking chemotherapy days later. A GoFundMe to help the Kirk family offset medical cost has raised nearly $4,000. Carrie said the Danville community has been exceptional.

"It makes it a lot easier to swallow this huge life change," she said. "We've got three other kids, and it's just so much to handle all at once."

Carrie also encouraged anyone who wants to help to donate blood. At Riley Hospital for Children, she's quickly seen the value and need for donations.

"It gives him energy," she said. "Everything is being killed off in his body. He had color in his cheeks again."
