Six-year-old Nixon and his mom, Lindsay Andreza, are seen here at BC Children's Hospital as Nixon gets treatment for an aggressive form of cancer. Friends are putting the call out in an GoFundMe page for the community's help to ease the financial burden.

Help six-year-old Nixon fight cancer.

That’s the call out on the GoFundMe page seeking donations to make Lindsay Andreza and her six-year-old son’s cancer battle a little less burdensome.

Nixon and Lindsay are in the fight of their lives as what started as an earache turned out to be a rare form of aggressive cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.

Nixon is at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver with Mom, Lindsay, constantly by his side during treatment. They are staying at Ronald McDonald House, which is close to the hospital.

Lindsay Cote has organized the GoFundMe page to help support the family during this crisis.

“They have begun Nixon’s chemotherapy journey,” Cote said in her poignant statement on the GoFundMe page.

“Despite the intense challenges, Nixon and Lindsay have faced each treatment like true warriors - showing resilience, strength, and courage that leave everyone in awe. Nixon’s treatment plan is extensive, involving multiple rounds of chemotherapy, potential surgery and the possibility of a two-month stint in Seattle for proton radiation. The emotional, physical, and financial toll on Lindsay and Nixon will be immense, along with the financial challenges of travel, additional medical expenses, and Lindsay’s time away from work. This is why, as Lindsay’s friends, we are asking for your support and where we can all make a difference.”

Lindsay and Nixon are incredibly grateful for the generous support they’ve received so far, Cote said in the post.

“Lindsay has always been the kind of person to show up for others, and now it’s our turn to show up for her and Nixon,” Cote said on the GoFundMe page.

“Let’s rally together and give them the strength and support they need as they face this long journey ahead.”
