At only 7, Dyllan has experienced more pain and tragedy than anyone should. You see, when she was 5 years old, her daddy tucked her into bed and kissed her good night for the last time. While she slept, her father succumbed to the demons he was battling due to PTSD from the military. It turned her family upside down. She has 3 brothers, one who requires full-time, round-the-clock care. Her mom has been doing the best she can, adjusting to her new life raising 4 kids alone.

In June of 2025, Dyllan woke with minor face swelling. Her mom took her to urgent care. They told her it was mumps and sent her to the hospital. Her mom knew it was something more, and after further testing, they discovered she has leukemia. She was immediately transferred to the children’s hospital to get started with treatment right away.

Dyllan has done her best to remain positive through all of this. Anyone who has met her knows she is the sweetest, kindest little girl. As you can imagine, this is a lot mentally, emotionally, and financially. Funds will go to help with transportation to and from the hospital, care for the boys while Ashlee is in the hospital with Dyllan, and anything else she needs.
