SAN TAN VALLEY, Ariz. -- A Valley family is in shock after finding out someone swiped a can full of donations that was supposed to help pay for their 7-year-old daughter's cancer treatment.

"I just couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe someone would stoop so low to do that," said Jason Clark.

His daughter, Dakota Clark, a second grader at Walker Butte elementary school, was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma in May. Doctors found tumors in her stomach, her chest and on her lymph nodes.

Dakota, who is also autistic, has already undergone three strenuous rounds of chemotherapy and will begin a fourth on Thursday.
