Nearly $34,000 Raised For Glen Rock Boy With Leukemia

Nearly $34,000 has been donated to help 6-year-old Dylan Canfield battle Leukemia.

Canfield was diagnosed with the disease this week, which has been difficult on Canfield and his mother Elissa because his father Bill died of cancer when Canfield was a baby.

Marissa Olsen, a friend of the Canfield family, started a GoFundMe campaign Aug. 10 to help the family with medical expenses. The original goal of $8,000 was met in less than a day. Subsequent goals of $15,000 and $20,000 were also quickly met. Donations may still be made on the campaign’s GoFundMe.com page.

“It’s just amazing to see the outpouring of support and love for Dylan and Elissa,” Olsen said.

Olsen said that a fundraiser for the family will be held in the fall.
