Lawson was diagnosed with Leukemia May 24 after concerning headaches, bruises and low grade fevers.
On May 22, 7-year-old Lawson Haas helped his baseball team on the Northshore win another game in a nearly undefeated season. Two days later, his family received unthinkable news. He immediately began chemotherapy and blood transfusions. Eventually, he will need a bone marrow transplant.
Now, the student at Lee Road School in Covington who loves fishing, hunting, Jiu Jitsu, and of course baseball, is
fighting a battle no kid should have to endure.
He doesn’t have to be tough alone. His family began sharing their journey on a Facebook page to ask for all the prayers they could get. The community stepped up offering not only prayers, but letter and cards. They are wearing ‘Lawson Strong’ bracelets and shirts. Several blood drives are being held in his name to help with medical expenses. There is also a Go Fund Me Account that has raised nearly $10,000 to help his family.
