Abraham was just four years old when his parents began noticing subtle changes–fatigue, bruising, and a swollen belly. What doctors initially suspected was digestive issues became something far more serious.
On June 14, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The diagnosis was devastating, but Nallely and Jose quickly shifted into action. “There’s no time for feelings,” Nallely recalls thinking. “You have to do something.” Within days, Abraham had a port placed and began chemotherapy. His treatment plan spans two and a half years, and he is now over a year into that journey.
Despite everything, Abraham remains curious and energetic. Fascinated by cars, sprinklers, engineering, and even space travel, he absorbs information like a sponge. He dreams of becoming an astronaut—or perhaps an oncologist—to help other children like himself.
With no extended family nearby, Clement’s Kindness became a lifeline. Introduced through the hospital social worker, the organization provided financial assistance and events that offered much-needed relief from the intensity of treatment. At each event, Nallely sees something powerful—families smiling despite the hidden battles they share. For Abraham, those moments are pure joy.
He remembers every detail from each outing and looks forward to the next one. In the midst of uncertainty, the Martinez family has found strength in community, gratitude, and their son’s boundless curiosity about the world around him.
