Ellie is 4 years old. And she has a rare form of cancer. She requires treatment that involves travel, time off for her family, and that removes her parents from a home where she has multiple siblings.

Ellie has 3 brothers. Like her, they're all adopted and have their own fears, concerns, and needs. Her family needs support for radiation treatment, travel, missed days of work, mental health care for her siblings, and the out of pocket costs that are required for her family. The American Pediatric Association states that the average cost of pediatric cancer for a family is at a minimum of $800,000. There is is no reasonable expectation to off-set all of those costs, yet any contribution is deeply appreciatesd. Please help. We're doing our best, and there is more to be done.

We recognize that some people pray and others do not. If you pray, please pray for guidance for doctors, for assistance for family, for no interruption to healthcare for siblings, and for strength and grace and endurance for her parents. If you do not pray, please bless us with a positive check-in, for hope, for dreams, or for simple companionship along this journey of suffering.

Everybody suffers. Nobody's suffering undoes another. Please, help us help Ellie and her family. Help us alleviate her suffering.
