Hi, my name is Stacie. I'm fundraising for my close friends' daughter Aaliyah.  Aaliyah is a beautiful, kind, loving, humorous 9 year old that wears her heart on her sleeve.


On July 6th, Aaliyah was complaining about her stomach hurting. The pain escalated and her mom, Amber, took to to the emergency room. She had tests and scans done, and it showed Aaliyah had a tumor that had ruptured inside of her and needed to be removed right away. She had a partial oophorectomy done. Surgery went ok and Aaliyah got to go home July 13th.


On Monday July 19th, Aaliyah had a follow up appointment. It was then that Aaliyah and her parents, Amber and Jason, learned she has a rare cancer. The tumor that had ruptured and was removed from Aaliyah is an ovarian germ cell tumor which is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the germ (egg) cells of the ovary. The cancer is Stage 3 Ovarian germ cell and has spread to her abdomen. For any parent, this is their worst nightmare come true. Their health insurance did not cover the chemotherapy at the time and the hospital lack of communication about the billing. And with no time to spare, Aaliyah needs chemotherapy as soon as possible , which does start on July 29th. The hospital itself and the pediatric oncologist are out of network and is not covered under insurance according to their insurance. After 4 cycles of chemo a total of 20 day stay. She has rang the bell in November 2nd showing that her chemo treatments are done for now and hopefully forever.. they will continue to monitor her for the next 5 years until they can 100% state she is cancer free. So far it seems better but the financial part of this journey is just the beginning. Until the bills are actually figured out completely and the tireness of their fight between insurance and lack of communication about the bills from the facilities. We are still trying to help recover the financial loss the parents experienced due to time loss and hours away from work. They have had wonderful help from the Northern Nevada Child Cancer Foundation to help with utilities and the rising cost of gas and food but they are only allowed to do so much and it is very appreciated. I realize the financial stress that a medical diagnosis such as cancer may bring, and I want to relieve some of the financial burden so Amber and Jason can focus on Aaliyah. And help transition Aaliyah to some sort of normalcy as it is the next part in Aaliyah's journey in hopes no longterm damage has happened from the chemotherapy treatments as you all know it's poison fighting poison. Some cognitive issues have arrived but only time will tell.


 


My goal is to raise $100,000 to help with expenses, including:


- Out of pocket medical costs and deductions


- Funds to make up for lost compensation due to Amber and Jason missing work.


- Unforeseen charges/ items not covered by insurance


It's not easy asking for help, but at this time there is no other choice in the matter. From the bottom of my heart I humbly ask that you share this link and if possible in giving (any amount will help).


Thank you for you support and God bless.        each and everyone of you.
