Once again I’m putting this out there…
Devon Curling
Born September 26, 1996
While you’re enjoying your holiday season. While you’re watching your kids open those Christmas Presents and you snap those pictures, there is an eleven year old boy just outside of Cincinnati OH (who happens to be my nephew) who is enjoying his last one. He’s dying of leukemia. He loses more strength every day, and becomes paler and paler. Despite all of this though, he’s enjoying this holiday. He wakes up every single morning with a smile on his face and determination to live another day, and enjoy his brothers and sisters the most he can. But, one day soon there won’t be anymore days. His body will succumb and he will no longer be with us. I know that’s harsh but it’s the truth. Devon’s family has been overstressed the past 2 1/2 yrs dealing with numerous rounds of chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and additional attempts with other medicine to keep him alive. This has taken a financial tole as well. There is a fund that has been set up for Devon’s funeral and burial expenses. You can donate to it one of the following ways:
You can donate via credit card to my PayPal account and I will write a big check to be deposited in the fund:
Or you can write a check, and mail to the following:

Here are two stories from Cincinnati OH media outlets about Devon’s Family’s situation:
From: The Cincinnati Post —–>11-year-old’s prognosis is ‘grave’
From WLWT NBC 5 in Cincinnati OH:—–>Family Asks For Help In Boy’s Battle Against Cancer
I know that there are a lot of you who care so much about Devon and have prayed for him, and continue to pray for him and I so much appreciate it. I just wanted to appeal to your heart. Can you imagine this happening to your family, of all times at Christmas? Christmas is supposed to be that magical holiday for children, not a time of year when you have to bury them.
Thank You for your time and prayers,
Ann Marie Curling
