We write this with a heavy heart today. Unfortunately little Elijah hasn't been doing too well and is currently continuing his courageous battle from the hospital. We'd like to make one last big push for prayers and donations to help Elijah and his family in any way they need. Everyone has been so extremely generous during this ordeal and we can't even begin to thank you. Just know that you are all very much appreciated and will always remain in our thoughts and hearts!

Again, thank you all so much for your support!

“Hi everyone! Elijah is doing awesome! After coming back from Disney, he began his chemotherapy without any apparent side effects. Yay! He has been responding well to treatment and will be getting another MRI done in June. In the meantime, he has been getting physical therapy, which by the way, is coming along super-great J and is continuing his school studies at home. We are now making our summer plans to make this the BESTEST summer ever for Elijah!

As always, we love and thank you all for all that you have done and continue to do. You are in our hearts and minds always.

"I want to say a huge thank you to Make a Wish for making my families wish come true. We had an amazing time at Disney and we made memories that will forever be in my heart and mind. Elijah will be getting an MRI done this Wednesday and from there we will be able to take the next step. Thank you to everyone for their continued support and prayers."

Elijah’s Bake Sale Update at St. Barnabas Hospital

"There are really no words to express our gratitude and appreciation for yesterday’s bake sale.

On behalf of the Graciano/Piazza family, I would like to extend the most heartfelt and sincerest THANK YOU to our SBH family for coming through and showing us how much Elijah and Cathy mean to all of you.

The bake sale yielded total sales of $2,179! Additional donations to the Donation Basket added up to $1,328. Our Grand Total is $3,507!!!!!

Special, special thanks to Pat Belair, Teri Barona and Myrna Perez (SBH Cancer Center) for helping us make the Bake Sale a reality.

Special, special thanks to Yvonne Robles and ALL of her AMAZING volunteers. The amount of work and effort they put in was phenomenal. We definitely couldn’t have pulled it off if it wasn’t for them!

And last, but certainly not least, THANKS to YOU, for all of your donations, both baked and monetary, love, prayers and sincerity. The outpouring of continued support has been unbelievable and we most certainly wouldn’t have been able to do it without you."

After we get back he will be starting Chemotherapy for a while and I just pray that he does well during that time like he has done so far. Thank you to everyone who has helped us thru this time from being by our side to keeping us in your prayers. You are all angels by our side."

"Just wanted to keep everyone updated: Elijah spent some time in the hospital (Dec 25 thru Jan 10) due to an infection, but he is home now and working on getting better. He is continuously on antibiotics to fight the infection and is receiving daily treatments of radiation and chemo. You are all in our prayers for keeping US in YOUR prayers, and for that we sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Love,

Carolyn, Jasmine & Debbie
