Help us solve this medical mystery

Donation protected
With broken hearts we share the tragic story of Malia Arroyo in Hope's we can identify the medical mystery that unexpectantly took her life at such a tender age. As a family, we have grieved our loss privately since her passing, but are now opening our hearts publically in an effort to raise funds for an autopsy that could identify the cause of the 2lb tumor that succumbed Malias 1lb 4 oz. Body. Our physician reached out to the administrative team at Spring Valley Hospital in effort to urge funding for medical research, unfortunately, we were declined the minimal cost that may save the lives of other children in the future. At 28 weeks, Malia had strong potential to survive but the carcinomas rapid growth put a heavy strain on the development of Malias lungs and liver and her tiny body would not have been able to withstand chemo therapy. Cancer is exclusive to infants, children, and adults and never happens during utero. With the urging of our physician we made the hardest decision of our lives to free Malia from her pain on day 3 of her life. Although the grief has been unbearable we truly believe she saved my wife's life and are waiting for further test results to come back to find out if she has to start chemo. We have come to realize without the gift of Malias life we may have never known and continue to pray that Megan wont have any further complications.  Although we know in her short time on earth she has served several purposes and blessed many thus far we beg of you please help us find answers by supporting our fund to pay for Malias autopsy. Above all, fervent prayers are needed and very much appreciated. If there's one thing we do know we know that God has showed up consistently in these trying times revealing Himself through the love and compassion of all of the amazing people we've encountered. The strength He's granted us is remarkable and we are so grateful for all of those who have loved on us with encouragement and support.
