There are moments in life when we wish we could take away someone’s pain and make everything better. This is one of those moments.

As a friend and colleague of Marissa and Lewis, it is heartbreaking to see their family facing something no parent should ever have to experience.

At just 8 months old, their beautiful baby girl, Iris, has already undergone surgery to remove a brain tumor. While the tumor has been removed, doctors believe there is a strong possibility that it is cancerous. As Marissa and Lewis wait for answers and prepare for what may lie ahead, they are facing every parent’s worst nightmare, along with the fear and uncertainty of what the future holds for their precious little girl.

During a time when their only focus should be on Iris, her recovery, and being there for one another, the added stress of medical bills, everyday expenses, and time away from work can become overwhelming.

We are hoping to come together to help ease some of that financial burden and give Marissa and Lewis a little breathing room during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a difference and allow them to focus on what matters most: their beautiful baby girl.

Sometimes, we cannot change what a family is going through, but we can remind them that they do not have to go through it alone.

Please consider donating if you are able. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser is another wonderful way to help. Every act of kindness, every contribution, and every show of support means more than words can express.

Let’s surround Iris, Marissa, and Lewis with the love and support they need right now. No family should have to carry this burden alone.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping this family during a time when they need it most. ❤️
