On August 9, 2023, Beautiful Montana Green fell ill with an unknown illness. Testing began at Baptist Hospital in Southern Indiana and after being uncertain of the results, his parents, who serve our communities as first responders, Malliccaaii and Briana Green, who are Police Officers and Licenced Practical Nurse decided to escalate his care to Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville Kentucky. August 11, 2023 Montana Green's Doctors found what had been causing their son's issues. A mass the size of a softball was found on top of his right kidneys' adrenal gland. The doctors informed Montana's worried parents that the mass was called Neuroblastoma- a rare form of pediatric kidney cancer affecting 700-800 children per year. Officer and Nurse Green were devastated. Worse yet, they now yoked with explaining this information to their 2 young children, Milan and Zola, who were home- worried about their baby brother with a cherished family member. At this time, our team jumped into action. We thank you for contributing to their family's Meal Train! We are grateful for the love and encouragement as they traverse these trying times. Our goal is to ensure they know they are NEVER ALONE. Your contributions of meals, kind words, cash donations, house cleaning, and other duties will help them afford and maintain the life Green Family knows. A sense of normalcy, family life, consistency, and community while they nurture their children throughout these overwhelming, and painful treatments for Montana's Neuroblastoma will be beneficial to everyone involved during trying times. Cancer doesn't just affect the person, but the entire family. Please join us in holding space for this wonderful family. Montana's current location is Norton Children's Hospital. This will transition back home or to a different facility over the next few weeks/months as his treatment plan evolves. Please follow and share in their son's Neuroblastoma journey here, where we will update and celebrate Montana beating this Neuroblastoma monster together! NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE!
