Infant battling rare tumor, fundraiser established for family

(ST. LEON, Ind.) – A Go Fund Me has been launched for an infant that has an extremely rare cancer. 

4-month-old Cooper Crain is the son of Samantha and Matthew, who reside in St. Leon.

Cooper was diagnosed with an aggressive Rhabdoid tumor and is receiving care at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. 

“When the surgical team removed Cooper’s kidney, the tumor was bleeding so the cancer cells have now been exposed throughout his little body,” the family said. 

The infant is undergoing chemotherapy for the foreseeable future. 

The unexpected medical situation has caused a financial strain on the family. 

Friends of the family have launched a Go Fund Me and the proceeds will support the  family with their daily expenses, monthly bills and medical bills.

There is also a Facebook group called Cooper's Troopers which you can access here.
