I wish to have a computer set-up
Remuell, 12
leukemia
From an early age, Remuell Jr. faced significant health challenges. Shortly after his birth, doctors noticed ongoing concerns with his platelet levels, requiring close and careful monitoring. Over time, those concerns led to a difficult diagnosis: leukemia. For Remuell and his parents, Jovelyn and Remuell Sr., the news was devastating and marked the beginning of an emotional and uncertain journey.
Remuell underwent chemotherapy and spent nearly a year receiving treatment at his local children’s hospital. Those months were among the hardest the family had ever faced, filled with fear, exhaustion, and moments of doubt. Through it all, they held onto hope, and that perseverance carried them forward.
During this time, the anticipation of receiving a wish became a bright light for Remuell. He spoke about it every day, eagerly sharing the news with his teachers, classmates, and anyone who would listen. When he learned his wish, to receive a computer setup, had been granted, his excitement was unmistakable.
Today, Remuell uses his laptop and printer daily to watch his favourite shows, complete his homework, and print pictures of animals he loves, especially birds found in Canada. The setup has become an important part of his routine, giving him a sense of comfort, independence, and joy.
Now cancer-free, Remuell continues to attend annual follow-up appointments, a powerful reminder of how far he has come and the strength he and his family have shown along the way.
