In the course of the mayhem, violence, and looting in Chicago earlier this week, looters targeted the Ronald McDonald House, a charity that provides a place to stay that is close to hospitals for families with sick kids.
One such family that is staying at the Chicago Ronald McDonald House belongs to two-year-old Owen Buell, who is being treated at Lurie Children’s Hospital for Stage four neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is a cancer most often discovered in the small glands on top of the kidneys, known as the adrenal glands. It can develop in the belly, chest, neck, pelvis, and bones. Children ages five or younger are usually most affected. Symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever. There may be a lump of tissues in the affected area. It is a deadly and rare cancer with only about between 650 and 700 cases a year in the United States. It accounts for 12 percent of childhood deaths in the US.
