Family Of Hoboken Toddler With Leukemia Starts Crowdfunding Campaign

A local toddler needs your help.

The family and friends of “Rhoda Jane,” a Hoboken resident diagnosed with B-Cell A-LL Leukemia on July 23, have started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for her medical treatment and recovery costs.

The online fundraising campaign states:

“[Rhoda Jane] will need to have intense treatments and chemotherapy for the next month or two before she is able to return home. After [she] goes into remission, we are positive that she will then need to have outpatient treatment for the next two years. This will be a long bumpy road, but we are confident that with treatments, love, support and prayer, this little girl with so much spunk will get back to her super big smiles and love of life and laughter.”

“Rhoda Jane’s parents Anna and Reid will be staying at the hospital with her for the duration of her stay,” the campaign states. “Any donations will help them through this time and are greatly appreciated.”

As of Aug. 6, the online campaign has raised $19,279.
