THE JAMES SPERANTA ORGANIZATION

The James Speranta Organization was founded by the Speranta family following the diagnosis of their 16-year-old son James with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. James is currently undergoing a 3-year treatment program at the City of Hope for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is their hope that this organization will serve as a vehicle to help and educate other children and their families that are victims of this shocking diagnosis of Childhood Cancer. The stress and effects on the families are long lasting and can be devastating.

This website is designed to share the Speranta family’s experience managing the day-to-day life, of their son James, going through cancer.

Donations are absolutely vital to our work. 

HELPING YOUR CHILD COPE

Your child will be admitted to a hospital as soon as they are diagnosed. This is where the shock sets in and the James Speranta Organization wants to help create a “Roadmap” to help and assist those families that have been affected. A helping hand. 

Your child will experience a variety of emotions, such as anger, guilt, fear, anxiety and sadness, all in quick succession. Your child’s treatment will involve new people and life-changing experiences that they may find frightening. It’s important for a family to come together during this crisis to set the tone and the game plan to survive the storm ahead. As parents, we figured out quickly the importance of gathering ourselves and our emotions, to set the course and path because we knew in our hearts it needed to be a positive one. Please visit our Roadmap to hopefully help in guiding you through this process.
