5-Year-Old Boy With Leukemia Sells Art To Pay For Chemotherapy

After being diagnosed with leukemia, 5-year-old Aidan Reed began selling his monster-themed artwork to help cover his mounting medical bills.

His family set up a blog to document the boy's accomplishments and an account on the website Etsy to bring the boy's drawings to a wider audience.

Response to his efforts has been exceptional. "Not only is Aidan feeling better, we cannot believe the outpouring of support we are receiving from people," writes his aunt who manages Aidan's blog and Etsy store. "The shop had a spectacular turn out and sold over 400 prints in less than 24 hours."

According to a recent update on Aidan's blog, "Through the donations and sale of Aidan's art, the family has been able to avoid financial ruin."

Supporters can purchase a piece of Aidan's artwork for $12 on Etsy or make a donation to help him through PayPal.
