At just nine years old, Jaxen McCall has already faced more trials than most will encounter in a lifetime. Non-verbal, autistic, and living with his mother and brother in public housing, Jaxen has been fighting a battle far too big for a little boy. For seven long years, he has courageously fought neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the adrenal glands. And while his treatments have often failed, his strength and bravery have never wavered.

For seven years, Jaxen’s mother, Randa, has been his unwavering support — balancing the weight of medical bills, constant hospital visits, and endless appointments while trying to make ends meet in a life full of challenges. With no reliable car, Randa has managed it all, even when the air conditioning at home breaks down, forcing her to spend nights in hotels she can’t afford, just so Jaxen can rest.

Yet despite everything, Randa remains hopeful. The latest rounds of antibody and radiation treatments haven’t worked, and now she prays that a new chemotherapy pill may bring the miracle her son so desperately needs. But through it all, Randa clings to a dream — one final wish for Jaxen: a special 10th birthday celebration on October 23rd, a memory that will shine even in the darkest moments. “I’m hoping we can surprise Jaxen with something involving water — he was always my water baby,” she says.

Water has always brought Jaxen comfort. It’s where he finds peace and joy. Randa dreams of taking him to the beach, where he can feel the soothing waves, hear the gentle sound of the ocean, and for just a brief moment, forget the weight of cancer. It’s a dream of normalcy, of happiness, of creating a moment of joy in a life that’s been far from easy.

This isn’t just a story of illness. It’s a story of love that refuses to quit. It’s about the quiet bravery of a little boy who, despite his struggles, continues to inspire all who know him. And it’s about a family fighting against impossible odds to give Jaxen every chance at happiness.

Now, we have the chance to give back. To help make Jaxen’s 10th birthday something truly special. To remind him that, even in the darkest battles, he is not alone. That joy, celebration, and love still exist. After seven years of courage, Jaxen deserves to hear the sound of the waves, to experience the laughter of a birthday, and to feel the healing power of love and community.

💖 Let’s help make his dream come true. Because after all, a little boy who has shown so much strength deserves to know that he is loved beyond measure.
