Our family was rocked by the sudden, unexpected news that our Gabe at just 8 years old has been diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor located in his brain stem. He has undergone emergency surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, and he is now facing a challenging road to recovery. He may still require further oncology treatment and extensive physical therapy to regain his strength on his journey back to being the strong, happy, active Gabe that we know. As a family, we are focused on giving him every opportunity to heal, recover, and regain his strength.

We are raising funds to support Gabe and his mum, Kirby. Gabe will need significant time to recover, and these funds will help ease the financial pressure on Kirby, allowing her to stay home and provide the care, comfort, and support that Gabe needs during his recovery.

By reducing the financial burden of everyday expenses, medical appointments, travel costs, and time away from work, this support will help prevent Kirby from having to return to full-time work before Gabe is ready. It will give them the precious gift of time together, focused on healing and recovery rather than financial stress.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to contribute, sharing this page with your family, friends, and community would mean so much to us.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time. Your help will allow Kirby to focus on what matters most—helping Gabe recover and thrive.
