We highlight the Alford Family - one of the Miracle Families for the 2024 Radiothon. 9-year old Thor was diagnosed with Thor was diagnosed with AML or acute myeloid leukemia in October of 2022.
The Alford family told us that "the people there and the services there were beyond my expectations. You know, we benefited from so many services, Thor went through 5 rounds of chemotherapy. We had
about a week break in between, so we had to wait for his blood counts to come back to an ok
number so we could go home for a week. During that time, Thor was pretty active and we
needed a lot of services. So, we had educational services, we had taken advantage of P.O.R.T.
which is a really great service, so that people like us can get gas cards, can get gift cards to
things like Starbucks, can go to the hospital cafeteria for some food. We benefited from child
life. I think Thor could tell you about a billion things that child life did with him and that was
really awesome."
