“Anything you go through, I’ll go through it with you,” Mims told his son in the video. According to the family’s GoFundMe information given, Ahkeem’s parents, Rayshawn and Shannae Mims took Ahkeem to the emergency room for what they thought was a knee sprain.

Ahkeem was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and the 7-year-old boy quickly started losing his hair after his chemotherapy treatments began. “I took an extended leave of absence. Due to his immune system being compromised from chemotherapy I am unable to work as I run the r**k of possibly infecting him with Covid,” Shannae Mims wrote on the site for the campaign for her son, which has received $24,613 so far but, much more than they initially requested for $5,000.
