Ryan “Bubba”

Bubba endured so much within his lifetime.  It warmed our hearts to see him laugh, and be able to enjoy life like every child should.  He

loved to eat ice cream and he could spend all day watching The Good Dinosaur.  He knew how to be funny and he enjoyed making others laugh.  Our sweet Bubba really light up the room.  Anyone that met him would never guess that he was battling cancer.

Bubba was diagnosed with Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia, he is multi-ethnic, Japanese and Vietnamese and just 2 years old.  Everyone loved his video https://youtu.be/LXseCmZkDcY and because of YOU, Bubba had a transplant in March 2017.  However, we are very sad to say that the leukemia came back and Bubba passed away on July 22, 2017.  Bubba was a little angel and he is going to be missed by his family and friends very much.  We will always remember that beautiful smile.

    Thank you for sharing this story of your beautiful child. It’s my first time visiting a site like this, and I am encouraged to find out how I can help others of Asian ancestry.
