Our world was turned upside down when we found out that my 5-year-old nephew, Nathan Mamoncic, was diagnosed with high-risk stage 4 neuroblastoma.

Nathan is the kind of child who fills every room with light. He is active, energetic, curious, and incredibly bright — a happy little boy with a sharp, intelligent mind and a huge love for life. Until recently, his days were filled with play, laughter and joy. Cancer was never supposed to be part of his story. Hearing the words “stage 4 cancer” was devastating.

No family is ever prepared for this moment, and no child deserves to face such a battle.

Nathan is now in the beginning of an extremely aggressive and long treatment journey, which includes:

• Intensive chemotherapy

• Major surgery

• Stem cell collection and transplant

• Radiation therapy

• Followed by immunotherapy

This treatment plan is physically and emotionally exhausting — especially for a 5-year-old. It will take many months, possibly years, and will require unimaginable strength from Nathan and his parents every single day.

The financial burden of long-term cancer treatment adds another heavy layer to this fight. Funds raised will help cover unforeseen and ongoing costs, including:

• Time away from work for his parents

• Travel and accommodation for hospital stays

• Essential cleaning and protective supplies

• Equipment and medications not fully covered

• Care and support for the family during long hospitalizations

• Any additional support Nathan may need along the way

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real and meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping Nathan and his family in your thoughts and prayers means more than we can express.

We are terrified, but we are holding onto hope — hope for healing, hope for strength, and hope that Nathan gets the future he deserves.

Also, Nathan also has a 10-month-old little sister Adelina, who absolutely adores him. She lights up when she sees her big brother and is waiting for the day he is well enough for them to play together, laugh together, and grow up side by side.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with Nathan and our family during the hardest fight of our lives.
