House Transforming Firm Loses Steadiness for Consumer With 6 12 months Outdated Son Preventing Most cancers – CBS Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Just three months ago, Wesley and Natalie Harris of Waynesburg would never have thought they would spend Christmas at UPMC Children’s Hospital with their 6-year-old son, who is separated from their two other children.

Instead, they’ve essentially lived in the hospital for about two months while Jax Harris battles Burkitt’s lymphoma, an aggressive form of cancer.

Natalie says it started when she noticed a bump on her son’s eye.

“[It] It turned out that this was the worst news of our lives, ”she said.

Shortly after Jax was diagnosed with cancer, he was admitted to the UPMC Children’s Hospital. His parents spent almost every moment by his side while he underwent intensive treatment.

That said, the harris are rarely at home.

“In two months we were home like six and a half days,” said Natalie. “So Wes and I sleep with him in his room.”

At the time of Jax’s diagnosis, the family was also working with remodeling company Charm Builders to renovate and repair their roof.

According to Natalie, completing the project required frequent phone correspondence with Charm Builders asking her mother to meet the company at home.

She says the company knew of Jax’s diagnosis and was sensitive to the family’s situation, but she never expected the incredible act of kindness from them on December 18th when the project was completed.

Although the Harris expected a bill for nearly $ 8,000, there was no balance due on the bill.

Natalie says she initially thought it was a mistake and texted the employee she worked with.

“No, the bill is correct,” says the text message. “You owe Charm Builders $ 0! You just take care of your son and hope that he is better, that you can all return home. Merry Christmas and a happy new year! ”

Ever since Jax’s diagnoses, Natalie has said neither she nor her husband could work, so the gesture from the Ohio-based company was overwhelming.

“I just started crying,” she said. “I was kind of shocked. I still am somehow. “

KDKA reached out to Charm Builders, who insisted that the focus remain on Jax and the Harris family.

In an email, the company’s owner said: “We are only trying to do what we are here on earth for – to help each other, regardless of race, religious belief or origin.”

On Christmas Day, a week after receiving the $ 0 bill, the Harris family is still feeling the effects.

“It was very helpful,” said Natalie. “This will allow us to pay our bills and celebrate Christmas for Jax and our family.”

Jax’s family created a Facebook page to find out about his battle with cancer.
