Ke’yair’s Fight Against Osteosarcoma

Update on Key 💛
We met with the kidney specialist and learned that Key’s kidneys are currently functioning at about 70% due to damage over the years. While this was a lot to take in, we’re grateful for clarity and a plan moving forward. He will continue to be closely monitored as we focus on protecting and strengthening his health.

Thank you for the continued prayers, love, and support — it truly carries us. 🙏🏽💛

Labs are in 🙌🏽
They came back pretty decent. My phosphorus was a little low at the last appointment, but it’s back to a good level now.
One step at a time. 💛

Ewing, N.J. — Ke’yair “Key” Christie, 15, of Ewing gained national attention after a viral Facebook video showed creator Samuel Weidenhofer surprising him at a Walmart with a Saquon Barkley jersey and tickets to a Philadelphia Eagles game. The moment introduced millions to a teen who has spent nearly half his life fighting osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive childhood bone cancer.

Key was diagnosed at age 8 and has since endured four relapses, multiple major surgeries, and long hospital stays. His medical history includes a limb‑salvage procedure that led to a leg amputation, eight thoracotomies, a recent lobectomy, and lasting effects from chemotherapy, including hearing loss and vision impairment.

Doctors have told the family that traditional chemotherapy is no longer an option, and Key is now pursuing an experimental clinical trial in New York. A verified GoFundMe continues to help manage travel and medical needs as he begins the next phase of treatment.

Update on Key 💛
We’ve been discharged, Key is feeling much better. Key’s medications have been adjusted, and we’ll be doing follow-up labs in a few days along with an appointment with the kidney specialist to continue monitoring his recovery.

We’re incredibly grateful for the prayers, love, and support that carried us through this scary time. Please continue to keep Key in your prayers as his body continues to heal.

For those who have asked, donations and any form of support are still welcomed and deeply appreciated. Thank you for standing with us — we truly feel it. 🙏🏽💛
