迦勒的妈妈和爸爸都很难工作.
“我们不能失去工作，”帕特里夏说。 “医院警告我们：不要失去你的健康保险。”
由于家人努力支付账单，同时也住在医院的Caleb一边，他们联系了Tom Coughlin Jay基金会，这是一个由前美洲虎和现任纽约巨人队教练Tom Coughlin创立的癌症基金会。.

It is heartwarming to hear about Caleb Farrell, a 16-year-old teenager from Florida who celebrated his new cancer-free status during an NFL game after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor a year ago. Along with other young patients, he was honored during the game. Calebs mother revealed that he used to play football for St. Augustine High School before his diagnosis. The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation helped Calebs family pay their bills while he was undergoing treatment. After months of proton therapy, Caleb received the good news that his cancer had disappeared. It is a blessing that he is still with his family, and they are grateful for it. The foundation sent around 35 children with cancer and their families, including the Farrells, to the Jaguars-Dolphins game to celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. They had a tailgate party and were honored during a pre-game ceremony. It is inspiring to see how the community comes together to support those who are fighting cancer.
