Please help my daughter, Viviana Rose fight cancer

Donation protected
My daughter’s and my families life was forever changed on January 28th, 2024. My family and I were at the local park watching Viviana and her siblings play at 4:30 pm and by 7:00 pm that evening my daughter was suffering from bilateral vision loss. We rushed her to Clovis Community Hospital where they immediately conducted a CT scan where they found a mass located behind her eyes. She was then transferred to Valley Children’s hospital by ambulance and there they determined that her case required a team of specialists to properly treat her. She was then flown by helicopter to UCSF as me and my wife followed at a much slower pace behind in our car. That 4 hour journey was the longest of our lives. Upon arrival at UCSF my daughter, still without sight was put through numerous procedures to diagnose the mass and administered medications to stabilize her. Her biopsy and MRI determined she had stage 4 cancer in the form of rhabdomyosarcoma. The mass had grown in such an unfortunate area behind her eyes that it wrapped itself around her optical nerves. The medical team was quick to administer steroids and began a treatment of chemotherapy coupled with 3d conformal radiation therapy 5 days a week but her vision has yet to return and the doctors will not reassure us that it ever will. Myself and my wife have been by her bedside caring for her since and we are simply praying for a miracle. In a few weeks I will have exhausted all of my paid leave and must return to work as a high school teacher. I dread leaving my daughter and also have the task of preparing for the financial responsibilities to facilitate my daughters ongoing care. As our family currently remains with a home and my job in Fresno we are asking for any support that anyone may offer to help cover the costs of her long term battle with cancer, the associated travel and the preparation of our home to make it safe due to her vision loss. We are grateful for any contribution.
