Help raise funds for Amy's brain tumor treatment

We come to you with hopeful spirits, sharing the story of Amy Park, a 10-year-old residing in Athens, Ohio, who was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) in late January 2024.

Amy is a sweet-natured, joy-filled, fun-loving little gal. She is the type of child who is capable of instantaneously bringing into the room, a sense of gentleness and ease. She is adored by all who know her, especially by her little brother Aiden, who looks up to her in every way a sibling possibly can. Amy's friends are dear to her - she loves spending time with them. It is one of her favorite parts of school. When she isn't spending time with her friends, or playing around with Aiden, she is drawing. Amy loves, loves, LOVES to draw...and she is GREAT at it! She draws all kinds of things - pictures of her Mom and Dad, pictures of her brother, pictures of cartoon characters.

Amy is also a blessing to her church, bringing joy to the lives of church members, the other little children, her Sunday School teachers, and especially, her Pastor. Amy is well-beloved there, and everywhere she seems to go!

Her doctor said about a year, but we hold onto faith, believing that nothing is impossible with God and Amy is in God's mighty hands, praying fervently for God's miracle to heal her.

Since her diagnosis, even just within a month, Amy's overall motor skills, including her ability to eat, walk, talk, write, and smile, have drastically decreased. You can only begin to imagine how difficult it has been for Amy as well as her parents, Daejun and Sejung, to have to watch their once vibrant, happy, healthy child change so drastically and quickly. Their faith in the Lord has been an amazing example to all and while they are trusting fully in Him, we do hope to be able to help carry this burden by creating this page so that finances are not even a thought in this most difficult time in their lives. Every dollar raised will go directly towards Amy's treatment, providing her with the best possible chance at recovery. We ask not only for your financial support but also for your prayers.

Together, let's ignite the spark of hope, believing that Amy will beat this tough challenge and come out on top, fully healthy again by God's power, and praise Him.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Update (3/7/24): Thank you all for your prayers and support for Amy. Her family deeply appreciates each and every one of you. We have an update regarding her condition and kindly request your continued prayers. Amy is scheduled for shunt surgery tomorrow afternoon (3/8/24). This surgery involves inserting a drain to alleviate excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and improved condition.
