From Diagnosis to Hope

October 30, 2025

Ten years ago, the Ortiz family heard the words no parent ever expects to hear: your son has cancer. In that moment, their world changed forever.

What came next was something they could never have imagined, an incredible community that rose up and stood beside them. Through heartbreak and healing, that support became the foundation of something bigger, a shared hope for better treatments, stronger families, and brighter futures for kids with cancer.

In this short reflection, Sebastian’s dad, Oscar, shares what the past ten years have meant for their family and how the love of this community continues to inspire hope for a better tomorrow.
