A Well-Deserved Surprise: 9-Year-Old Orange County Leukemia Survivor Gets Special Shopping Spree
11.20.18
At the age of 9, Matthew Morales of Fullerton has the strength and bravery of someone well beyond his years. After being misdiagnosed three separate times in a span of two weeks, Matthew was diagnosed at four years old on Jan. 10 2014 with a rare form of childhood leukemia, B-Cell ALL Ph+. Once diagnosed, Doctors said he had hours left; Matthew spent six days in PICU before he could start treatment. After an intense 3-year treatment, most of which was inpatient, Matthew finished cancer-free in February 2017.
Sadly, Matthew relapsed July 10, 2017, at seven years old and due to the prior treatment given being the highest dose possible, his only option was a Bone Marrow Transplant. Matthew at 8 years old, had his Bone Marrow Transplant on Nov. 15 2017 with his donor being his 9-year-old brother Michael. Matthew continues to be on a low dose oral gene inhibitor chemo for an unknown amount of time to keep Matthew cancer free. Matthew loves to laugh and is looking forward to someday soon returning to the in-classroom school experience and making friends. His hope and wish are that no child is diagnosed with cancer. To prepare Matthew for his future return to the classroom, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Orange County and the Inland Empire and Burlington Stores, surprised Matthew with a special treat.
* Now through December 1, all Burlington store locations across the country are asking customers to donate $1 or more at checkout to support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
* For the past 17 years, Burlington Stores has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society funding research and lifesaving treatments. Burlington has raised more than $32MM for the organization, which has helped save lives and are bring smiles to those touched by blood cancers.
* For kids recovering from blood cancer treatments, returning to school is a huge milestone so this year, to help these students feel confident and smile brightly Burlington is pleased to gift one child with this shopping spree experience at a store near each of Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 56 chapters nationwide.
* The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world’s largest nonprofit fighting blood cancer, and the leading source of free education and support for blood cancer patients and families. They are at the forefront of the fight to cure cancer, dedicated to finding cures for the nearly 1.3 million people in the U.S. who are living with or are in remission from, leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma and other blood cancers.
