Meet Kooper

Two and a half-year old Kooper came with his family to the Dreamer Apartment after being diagnosed with a Wilms Tumor.

Kooper, his parents and seven month-old sister moved into the newly refinished Dreamer Apartment in September 2021 while Kooper underwent treatment for a Wilms Tumor, a type of kidney cancer.  While this cancer is rare, it is the most common type of kidney cancer in children.  It is highly treatable and has a good prognosis.  The family came to UVA Children’s from Mathias, West Virginia.
