On February 1, 2018 Kaylee Marshfield was diagnosed with a Wilm’s Tumor, a rare form of childhood, kidney cancer. It was the morning of her sixth birthday. For the next nine months, with family by her side, Kaylee would battle the disease, undergoing numerous surgeries and receiving months of aggressive chemotherapy. Declared cancer-free on November 1, 2018 Kaylee and the Marshfields have begun to navigate life “after-cancer”. Both unemployed while Kaylee was sick, Todd and Kristina have both found steady employment at a local, Syracuse bowling alley and Kaylee and her sisters have all recently started the new school year. What began as one little girls fight to beat cancer is now an intimate, ongoing story of a low-income Upstate New York family with Kaylee Marshfield, a thoughtful, animated and insightful 7-year old just beginning a new chapter in life, at its center.
