A mother in Texas shared this heart wrenching photo of her four-year-old son Beckett struggling with leukemia.

Beckett was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia over a year ago.

His mom Kaitlin Burge posted photos of Beckett, which include the caption “Vomiting between play sessions. Waking up to throw up. Going from 30 pounds to 20 pounds. This is childhood cancer. Take it or leave it.”

Burge also wrote about Beckett’s five-year-old sister Aubrey who is seen in the photo rubbing her brother’s back.

Burge posted “One thing they don’t tell you about childhood cancer is that it affects the entire family.”

Aubrey often gets left behind and has to make sacrifices because of Beckett’s needs.

Medical expenses have grown increasingly costly so a friend made a GoFundMe campaign for Beckett.

If you would like to help, go to GoFundMe.com and search for “Help Beckett kicked cancer’s butt.”

Beckett should complete treatment in August 2021.
