EXCERPT:
A young boy in Alabama who is battling cancer just got a hopeful new chance after the Trump administration stepped in to help.
15-year-old Will Roberts has stage-four bone cancer.
Sadly, his chemotherapy treatment wasn’t working, so he put out a video on social media asking if anyone with connections to the White House could help.
Here’s that video:

First Lady Melania and Dr. Oz arranged for Will Roberts to fly out to Los Angeles to receive some cutting-edge treatments that could save his life.
The New York Post reported further:
An Alabama oil tycoon and real estate developer, Ric Myers, saw the message and forwarded it to Trump, AL.com reported.
It then spread across the administration — from First Lady Melania Trump to Kennedy to Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Oz put the family in touch with the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, which offers “innovative clinical trials and experimental treatments to offer hope for those facing hard-to-treat cancers.”
Will made an appointment and flew across the country for treatment, thanking his backers for helping get him to the Golden State.
“Man, y’all care so much for me to get this drug and I appreciate it so much,” the teen said in a video posted to Facebook.
He’s expected to receive three 30-minute treatment sessions per week as he aims to overcome his cancer.
But the medical costs are enormous. The treatments will cost the family $500,000, the Daily Mail reported, and they’ve already spent $100,000 on travel expenses and other medical expenses alone.
Thanks to the Trump administration pulling some strings, Will is already receiving treatment in California.
