My child puts on a brave face every day. Kiptyn’s life isn’t always normal at home having a daddy with leukemia. His dad also needs extra love and help after getting caught under a semi-truck and being disabled.

Kiptyn loves to sing, dance, and entertain. He’s a straight A student and is a great kid, always helping and encouraging his classmates. Kiptyn also helps his mommy when his daddy needs an extra hand. He’s also been through his own struggles. Years prior, a mosquito bite caused health complications, leading to seizures and his heart-stopping. “I almost lost my baby,” said his mom Samantha.

He was nominated by his mom who is so proud of him for everything that he’s overcome, his big heart ,and for being such a big help during his dad’s battle with cancer. Kids Wish Network is so happy to reward Kiptyn as a Hero of the Month.
