Their story

On September 15,2026,I Officer Franco received news that my 1 year old son was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at such a young age.

This news is devastating for my family and I during this time, as we are soon to welcome another member to the family. My son will have to undergo treatment, numerous doctor visits and will have to receive treatment weekly for the foreseeable future. While receiving treatment, my child's immune system will be compromised which could result in unexpected trips to the ER. 

I have 4 year old, my wife currently pregnant with our 3rd child due to deliver in October 2026, I will be greatly needed at home focusing on my 1 year old, my wife’s recovery and our family. 

Unfortunately, as a rookie officer with the NYPD, having less than 2 years on the job, there will be some financial hardship with the medications, bills, travel expenses to and from the doctor’s appointments, while receiving treatment at Stony Brook University Hospital, etc.

I have setup this fundraiser to help my family through any hardship we may encounter. 

Any donation is greatly appreciated and prayers are thanked from the bottom of our hearts during this difficult time from the Franco family. We will be forever grateful of any donation, share of this link and prayers.

We are very thankful for the prayers and people who have donated and reached out to us during this difficult time. Thank you for your comments, and sharing it truly has helped us in many ways to keep our hopes up especially when we least expected it. We continue treatment and have decided to transfer to Cohens Children’s Hospital to be a bit near home in case of any emergency since he is neutropenic but improving. We have also decided to save our soon to be newborn blood cord bank just in time if ever need in the future. All gods timing and praying we will make it thru this. We are forever grateful of everyone that has kept us in their prayers and thoughts. ❤️
