<div>My name is Brittany DeFlorio. I am 35 years old and lost my only child to terminal brain cancer on 12/26/2025. Her name is Avinel Rae. She fought hard for 9 months, had to undergo 3 major brain surgeries, and radiation for 30 treatments where she had to be put under daily. Avi also had to have another surgery to place a port so she could be given meds directly to the heart. The brain cancer she had is called DMG (diffused midline glioma H3K27M-Mutation), meaning it was caused by a random mutation in her genes. There was no way to know or prepare for this diagnosis. It just happens at random. This cancer is so aggressive and deadly. It took my daughter from me in less than 9 months; it also took a piece of me too.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The reason I am creating this GoFundMe is because I need help.</strong> I am struggling and I don't know what to do. I am still trying to come to terms with the fact she is gone. It hits me at random times and feels so unfair.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I was unable to work the entire time she was sick, and I was a single mom. My job was caring for my daughter, and during that time, I didn't care about anything else other than trying to save her life and spend as much time with her as possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Here's the hard part to say out loud: <strong>I am about to lose everything else.</strong> My bills are behind, I am at risk of losing my car and childhood home. I also got a ticket heading to radiation with my daughter at 5:30 am from a school zone (that was dysfunctional), and I missed the letter with the ticket and now have no license.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I lost my daughter and now feel I am going to lose everything else in my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I still can't work; it's only been 3 weeks since she passed. I can't go for more than a couple of hours without breaking down.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Life is really giving me a run for my money. When it rains, it pours. I just need help getting my life back together. I need help to take away some of the stress. I want to give Avi the best celebration of life possible but can barely afford to keep the lights on.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am really sorry to be creating another GoFundMe, but I am desperate.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The money donated will be going directly to all end-of-life services and planning for Avi.</strong> Getting my license back, catching up on bills (car, car insurance, rent, electricity, phone, etc.), finding insurance to get my broken nose fixed (I have narcolepsy and mixed with pure exhaustion, I fell asleep sitting up and fell forward, breaking my nose on the cabinet in front of me. This was over a month ago now), and getting into therapy to help me grieve so I can get back into life with hopefully a clean slate.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You never know how a cancer diagnosis will affect you until you live it. Cancer sucks.

</div>
