Please Help Ace’s family stay strong & celebrate Ace

Empower our little guy Ace Zinko in his fight against an inoperable cancerous brain tumor (DIPG).

Dear family and friends,

My name is Kim, I’m Ace’s Aunt. As a family we want to create this Gofundme to bring awareness and show support for Ace and his family. We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and a plea for help. Our precious Ace, a brave 6-year-old, has been suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable rare aggressive cancer called Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Less than 72 hours ago Ace was a healthy and active 6 year old. On October 3rd he began to show loss of motor skills on his right side. This was followed by a trip to the ER which led to him being flight lifted to SLC and his current diagnosis. A biopsy is being performed today so there will be more updates to come, but as of right now, with this type of aggressive form, the prognosis is poor. This devastating news has left our family in a whirlwind of emotions. We are determined to give Ace the best possible chance to fight this and to have his family be able to remain by his side.

Despite this diagnosis and uncertainty, he continues to keep a smile on his face and count to 100 …thousands of times - says good morning in Russian …showing us love, hope and positivity. Our goal is to provide him with every resource and treatment available, but we cannot do it alone.

Your generous contribution will go directly towards Ace’s medical, specialized treatments, and any additional support needed during this living nightmare. One primary goal is keeping the family together because unfortunately Ace’s treatment as of now is in Salt Lake City, UT, but the rest of his family lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ace comes from a tight knit family consisting of 10 kids, ages 16-1.5. He is also a twin to his brother Axl. Every dollar, every share, and every word of encouragement brings us one step closer to giving Ace the fighting chance he deserves.

Please join us in this battle against cancer and help us give Ace a fighting chance while taking some of the financial burden off his parents shoulders so they can remain by his side. Together, we can be the beacon of hope that their entire family of 12 needs. Your support means more than words can express, and we are forever grateful for your kindness. We will update as we get more information.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The family of Ace Zinko
