On Monday, September 1, we learned that our sweet great-niece had a Wilms tumor on her kidney. Emily is 4 years old and becomes instant friends with everyone she meets. She is spunky, silly and full of love and laughter. Her little giggles will melt your heart!

As you can imagine, this has been very overwhelming for her parents, Dustin and Cierra, and our entire family. They just moved from Las Vegas to Phoenix two weeks prior to the diagnosis, and thankfully are surrounded by family and the best doctors here in the valley.

Dustin is a massage therapist and just started a new job in Peoria. He has been off since September 1st while Emily has been at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Unfortunately, with his job being so new, he doesn't have paid time off yet. His family depends on his income, so we are doing everything we can to help them. Cierra was supposed to start her new job, but that has been put on hold until we figure out the next steps on this journey.

Emily had surgery to remove her kidney and the tumor from her tiny body. She is on the road to recovering from that long, invasive surgery. She will then start radiation and chemo to ensure this ugly disease stays away.

We are trying to help them ease the financial burden of this diagnosis, so they can focus all of their attention on Emily getting better. Please keep our family in your prayers as we navigate this world of Childhood Cancer.

**All donations are going directly to Dustin and Cierra to help with anything they need.
