Beautiful Myah -(Stage 4 Neuroblastoma Cancer)

Donation protected
Hi, My name is Lauraine, and I'm fundraising for my beautiful Niece, Myah.  One day, one side of Myah's face started to swell slightly. Then a few days later she was fussing and pointing to her jaw. She had a swollen lump under her chin but no fever. Myah was taken to the emergency that night and the doctors said it was just a swollen lymph node probably caused by a virus. A few days later she was then taken to her pediatrician where she said the same thing. A week later we took her back to the pediatrician with the same complaint and got the same response. "It's just a swollen lymph node and can take weeks or even months to go away". Myah's mom knew something was not right and took Myah to an ENT who did further testing and referrals to other doctors. They performed a biopsy on her lump in her jaw and discovered she has stage 4 Neuroblastoma.  Neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body. We are very grateful for Myah having good insurance to cover most of the medical bills, however there are other out of pocket expenses that have already accrued and the family needs help. They will also have to do some travel as part of Myah's treatment will take place in Boston. Any amount will help Myah and her family, and we are so grateful for all your prayers and support. God bless you all.
