Lawson with his parents and four siblings

“Our son looks forward to going to the Shreveport clinic. He calls everyone there his family. They just live to make life better on days that could be really difficult. Having your port accessed and all those types of things are not fun. On clinic days, he sits up in bed in the morning and wants to go to the clinic. He takes his toys and always wants to bring something to show the staff. There’s something to be said about people who can make the kids want to go to the hospital. It’s like home.”

- Stacy, mother of Lawson
