WEST JORDAN — The cake is ready, the presents are wrapped and it's time to celebrate. But this very special birthday is coming a few days early.

All week, Ethan Van Leuven and his family have celebrated the holidays one last time together.

Ethan is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has just days — maybe a few weeks — to live.

Thursday night, neighbors rallied around him in these bittersweet moments.

Visit Ethan VanLeuven's fundraising Facebook page for more information on how you can get involved. Donations can also be made on Ethan's GoFundMe page or dropped off in person or mailed to TruHearing for Ethan, 9071 S. 1300 West Ste. 100, West Jordan, UT 84088.
