On June 22, Carlin will return to the hospital for the next big step in his journey toward healing. He’ll have surgery to have his port placed, and he will begin his first round of chemotherapy as we prepare for his bone marrow transplant.

This is a heavy and hopeful time for our family. While we’re filled with love and determination, we also carry the weight of the unknown. Through it all, Carlin continues to show strength beyond his years.

We ask for your continued prayers—for peace, for protection over his body, and for strength as we walk through this together. Every word of encouragement, every act of kindness, and every prayer truly means more than we can express.

Thank you for standing with Carlin. He is not fighting alone. ?
