This is Taylor's Cancer Journey:
In February 2020, at 9 years old, Taylor was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A rare and aggressive cancer. Her treatment started with surgery for port placement, and a battery of tests to determine disease progression, prognosis, and a treatment plan.
By February 2021 scans showed metastatic disease and Taylor’s prognosis was now 10% survival. On November 17, 2021, Taylor told her mom she no longer wanted treatment. So they began the process to enter into hospice. On December 7, 2021, at 9:11pm, Taylor took her final breath surrounded by her loved ones.
Taylor's Dream is a relatively new 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to helping children battling childhood cancers take a time out from the day to day challenges of fighting. To make a little Dream come true. To make memories. To just be kids for a little while.
Our Board is made up of a bunch of mom's from the DFW metro area who joined with our founder and Taylor's mom to honor Taylor's memory. We provide funds to cover the cost of a day out doing whatever the child wants to do that day. Whatever their Dream Day looks like. That may mean a day at a water park, playing golf, going to a play, the zoo, a hockey game, purchasing and setting up a backyard pool for summer fun at home, really anything at all that is special to our selected kiddo and their family.
Our mission at Taylor’s Dream is to offer families the opportunity to take a time out from the overwhelming daily burdens faced by children battling cancer. A time out to play, explore, adventure and create memories with family and friends.
Taylor's Dream primarily needs cash donations to support our mission of funding a Dream Day our for children battling cancer. We are also happy to accept gift cards to give those families for fuel, groceries, and other necessities to make their Dream Day easy and fun!
