Bobby 4 yr old Young Warrior Battling Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS)

Bobby is a courageous young boy recently diagnosed with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer in children. His journey began on Christmas Day 2025, when a testicular mass was discovered at Banner Gateway Medical Center. Just one day later, on December 26, he underwent urgent ultrasound, CT scan, and surgery at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where doctors successfully removed the tumor and affected testicle.

On January 5, 2026, biopsy results confirmed ERMS—a fast-growing cancer originating in developing skeletal muscle cells, often in the genitourinary tract. Bobby is now starting intensive treatment and recovery, facing each challenge with remarkable strength and surrounded by unwavering family love.

His family shares with deep faith:
“Our faith is strong, and we continue to pray. I know God will put a shield of protection over Bobby and will continue to heal him. Psalm 91. Thank you to our friends and family for the outpouring of support and continued prayers. Please keep our son, Bobby, in your prayers as he begins his treatment and recovery.”

The Armer Foundation For Kids is honored to stand with Bobby and his family during this difficult time. We provide critical financial assistance to ease the heavy burdens of pediatric cancer—covering out-of-pocket medical expenses, travel to treatments, lodging, meals, and other hidden costs that insurance often doesn’t cover. This allows families like Bobby’s to focus fully on healing, hope, and being together instead of financial stress. Your support through this project will directly help Bobby’s family afford essential care and create brighter days ahead. Every donation makes a real difference for Armer Kids battling childhood cancer in Arizona and beyond—no child or family fights alone.
