Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Strangers,

Today, we come to you with a heavy heart but also with hope. Our precious 2-month-old Maysen has been diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer that affects the eyes of young children. This diagnosis has upended the lives of her loving parents, Megan and Ben, who are now faced with the daunting task of securing the best possible care for their little girl.

Maysen's parents have been told that the most effective treatment for her condition can only be provided by a top specialist in New York City. While this is the best path forward for Maysen, it also means that her family will face significant medical and travel expenses, including consultations, treatments, and the cost of traveling and staying far from home.

Our Goal:

We are launching this fundraiser to help alleviate the financial burden on Maysen’s family so they can focus on what matters most: Maysen’s recovery. Our goal is to raise $40,000 to cover:

Medical Costs: Specialist consultations, treatments, and any necessary procedures.

Travel Expenses: Flights, accommodations, and transportation to and from New York City.

Additional Needs: Support for Maysen’s parents to ensure they can be by her side without financial strain.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Any contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference. Your support will help ensure that Maysen receives the top-notch care she needs to fight this cancer.

Share: Spread the word by sharing this fundraiser with your network. The more people who know about Maysen’s story, the more support we can gather.

Offer Support: If you have resources, connections, or can offer other forms of assistance, please reach out to us.

A Message from Maysen’s Family:

"We are heartbroken by Maysen's diagnosis, but we are also hopeful. With your support, we believe that Maysen can overcome this challenge by obtaining the best possible retinoblastoma care. Your kindness and generosity mean more to us than words can express. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time."

Maysen is a beautiful, brave little girl who deserves every chance at a bright and healthy future. Let’s come together to give her that chance. Your help will not only aid in her battle against retinoblastoma but also provide her family with the peace of mind they need to focus on what matters most.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Maysen's Auntie Squad
