A five-year-old Tulsa boy with brain cancer is getting incredible support before he leaves for treatment.

Friday afternoon, his school and even strangers showered him with gifts and support.

News On 6 was there as students, police, and firefighters lined up to send well wishes to Asher Rowland, a kindergarten student at Eliot Elementary.

it was a parade around the playground as more than 300 students showed support for their classmate. Asher will head to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee next week.

"He doesn't really know what's going on,” explained Asher’s mother, Jessica Austin. “He knows that we are moving, but since he doesn't have any symptoms, he doesn't know that he is sick."

Austin told News On 6 the last 10 days have been overwhelming after Asher was diagnosed with brain cancer.

"We went in for a routine MRI to check Asher's shunts, and we found out he had an unknown mass,” said Austin. “It's been a lot of doctor's visits, a hospital stay."

But today, it's "Asher Day" with lots of pictures and presents. A Tulsa police officer also gave Asher a special coin for his courage.

"We wish them a lot of luck in the journey that they're getting ready to go through with Asher, and hopefully, he comes out good on the other side," said Lt. Dennis Smith.

The Tulsa police helicopter, as well as dozens of officers and firefighters also stopped by.

"I hate that any kid has to go through this,” said Tulsa firefighter Jeremiah Mefford. “I think that we're all praying in the end through God's going to prevail."

Asher's mom said her son is on the autism spectrum and has had fluid build-up in his brain the last few years, but he had an unforgettable day at school and even got escorted home by a firetruck and police motorcycles.

Austin said her family is grateful.

"You know, sometimes you feel isolated as a single parent, so it's great to see community support and everyone coming out and giving us well wishes," said Austin.

Asher's mom said her employer has set up a GoFundMe account and is matching funds to help their family. You can donate HERE
