Help 4 year old Giavanna slay the beast cancer

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Colleen Filippis and I am starting a Go Fund Me Fundraiser for my friend Paula Reiff. I have known Paula for over 25 years, she works with my husband Philip. Paula and her husband Eddy live in Sussex, NJ with their daughter Karli and granddaughter Giavanna. Paula and Eddy took over guardianship when Giavanna was born to help raise the Gia and provide health insurance coverage. In December Eddy was informed that there would be major cuts at his company and he is likely to lose his job which means he will need to switch to COBRA Insurance.
Sadly the family got the devastating news two days ago that 4 year old Giavanna has leukemia and was immediately transferred to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in NY to begin treatment. This is a shock to the entire family since Giavanna was a happy healthy little girl who literally went to bed a carefree, loving, happy, sweet, healthy little girl and woke up to a nightmare. This is especially difficult for Paula because Giavanna lives with her and they are extremely close. Paula and her family are asking for your prayers and positive vibes on Facebook. Please pray and keep those positive vibes coming their way, it does help! If you are in the position to help by making a monetary donation to help Giavanna for any amount, it will be tremendously appreciated by the family. Gas and toll money to NY adds up quickly in addition to medical bills. We all are fighting our own battles and I don't question the path God has put me on I can handle it!! I also believe Giavanna and her family could use our positive vibes, prayers and if possible, a donation to help smooth the path of this challenging and long journey 4 year old Giavanna has been placed on. If possible, please share this GoFundMe on Nextdoor, Facebook or any social media platform to help get the word out the family would be forever grateful.
