Elise's Fight

It’s with sincere sadness that, after weeks of health decline, the sweetest, little 8-year-old was finally admitted to the hospital for continued fatigue, vomiting and other issues. Within a few hours Elise’s parents learned that she had a tumor on her cerebellum that doctors had initially missed. She was rushed to a children’s hospital and has surgery scheduled today. The surgery could be up to 12 hours and recovery isn’t fully known yet.

Although this will be a long and daunting journey for her four sisters and parents, they have been there with Elise from the moment she was admitted. The family has yet to find a spot at the Ronald McDonald house. They were told they should have a spot soon. As they are so many miles from home, commuting isn’t an option. Their family live out of state and are trying to get here to help.

Elise is the kindest little girl you have ever met. Anyone who knows her, knows that she will make you smile with one glance. We are absolutely devastated this is real and happening.

If you know her and her family or feel so moved to help them in their time of need, I have attached a link to a GoFundMe page that our neighborhood has set up for them.

Most importantly, please keep this special angel in your hearts and prayers.
