Four-year-old Felder Sartin, affectionately known to his fan club as "Super Felder," is not just fighting for truth, justice and the American way. He's also fighting for his life.

In late August, Felder was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is currently undergoing outpatient treatments at Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children. ALL is a cancer of the white blood cells and is most common in children.
Meanwhile, his parents Jessica and Gareth Sartin and his brother Easton, 2, of Bogue Chitto, have a church family that wouldn't just let Super Felder fight by himself. Jessica's Bible study group, which calls themselves "Secret Sisters," came together to help raise money and prayer support for the Sartins in their time of need.
"When something goes wrong we just contact our Secret Sister group, it's just the kind of fellowship that we have," said Jessica's cousin Becca Guynes. "We rallied around her, and we'll be here to follow it the whole way through. Nobody asked any questions when we heard about it, we just got together and started doing what we could do to help."
And Jessica says in her time of need, her "sisters" are the life preserver that keeps her afloat.

I told Holly last night that I think that's the only thing that keeps me going every day is knowing we have the prayer support from our church," she said.

Jessica's longtime friend Holly Welch agreed that there wasn't even a pause. As soon as Felder's sickness was announced, the Secret Sisters were in action.

Everyone was on board immediately doing what needed to be done. And it's one of those things where you bear with them but you can't even start to comprehend what they're going through," she said. "I still step back and say I can't believe they're going through this, but they're very strong in their faith and that's brought them this far."

The Secret Sisters group brainstormed ideas on how to make money to help support the Sartins' medical bills, and needless to say, the prayer support has been constant.

The first order of business was a casserole bake sale the group did at their church, Calvary Baptist. While Secret Sisters expected it to make a few hundred dollars, the turnout was far beyond their expectations, netting almost $3,000 to go toward the effort.

Meanwhile, the women came up with the idea of ordering rubber theme bracelets and T-shirts to sell, and the idea of "Team Felder" was born. Guynes said the Both the bracelets and the shirts say "Team Felder."

We just all kinda got together and had a meeting on what we could do to help them raise money, and everyone threw out ideas," she said. "(Fellow Secret Sister) Toni (Leggett) found where we could order bracelets, and basically we kept meeting until we came up with what we needed to do to help."

Meanwhile, friends of the Sartins stand amazed at how strong they've been, but especially the courage of their young son.

We call him Super Felder, because he's all into Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and the other superhero guys," Guynes said. "We tell him, 'You be strong, you be a superhero,' so I think that's what he's trying to do."

Jessica Sartin said Felder is already doing much better after the first round of treatment, which to her already shows the evidence of God's hands. But the treatment will have to continue for two more years to make sure it is under control.

Guynes said Super Felder seems to understand that "his blood is sick," and that there will be times he needs to rest and times he won't feel so good, and that he's accepted it with courage.

He's more tired than usual, but he's at home," she said. "I guess he just can't go as much as he would want to, he's adapted to the idea that 'It's time for me to rest now.' He's taking it better than most of us."

Jessica Sartin said Felder's superpowers seem to come from somewhere else, and he seems to be drawing strength from the prayer support of his church family.

He sometimes he pretends he's Superman, but I feel like him responding so well is a result of all the prayers," she said. "There are so many kids going through this that are so much sicker, and I think he equates his doing so good as his being a superhero. But I definitely think it's the prayers."
