<div><strong>Help Everly Domstrand Fight Her Biggest Battle Yet</strong>
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever met <strong>Everly</strong>, you know she lights up every room she bounces into. She’s a caring, loving, rambunctious kindergartner who adores her siblings, loves to laugh, and has a spirit far bigger than her tiny frame.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this fall, Everly’s world — and her family’s — changed in an instant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Sudden Turn No Family Is Ever Prepared For</strong>
</div>
<div>Around Halloween, Everly's family noticed she was a little unsteady on her feet. She had fallen a few times, and something just didn’t feel right. After a visit to her doctor, they were immediately sent to <strong>Children’s Hospital</strong>, where their worst fears were confirmed: Everly had a tumor on her brain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At first, doctors believed it to be a <strong>DIPG tumor</strong>, a diagnosis no parent should ever hear. With that diagnosis came a life expectancy of just 6-8 weeks without treatment and only 9-12 months with treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But Everly’s family refused to give up hope. They advocated for a biopsy — and that decision changed everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A New Path Forward</strong>
</div>
<div>The biopsy revealed that Everly’s tumor is not a DIPG. Still dangerous and still serious, but unknown — and with that unknown came new possibilities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her family traveled to the <strong>Mayo Clinic</strong>, where the neurosurgical team confirmed that while Everly does have a brain tumor, it is <em>not</em> the original devastating diagnosis. It is, however, still an <strong>undiagnosed type of brain tumor</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Tuesday, November 25, Everly underwent a <strong>six-hour debulking surgery</strong>, during which her surgeon was able to remove <strong>more than 50% of the tumor</strong>. She amazed everyone with her bravery throughout this ongoing ordeal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE: On December 10, the biopsy results finally provided a diagnosis of ETMR tumor, which is very aggressive and will require intensive treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Everly’s Battle Today</strong>
</div>
<div>Recovery from the surgeries and planning further care to treat the newly diagnosed ETMR tumor has been challenging. Everly is currently experiencing:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Facial paralysis
</li>
<li>Hearing loss
</li>
<li>Loss of fine motor skills in her right hand
</li>
<li>Weakness in her right leg
</li>
<li>Double vision
</li>
</ul>
<div>These symptoms are caused by pressure and strain on her nerves from both the tumor and the surgeries. She will be attending <strong>physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy</strong> regularly in the months ahead. She will also need a brace for her right leg and will require a wheelchair at times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And yet, through every hardship, <strong>Everly still smiles.</strong> She still loves. She still fights. She has taught all of us so much about strength, bravery, and faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Comes Next</strong>
</div>
<div>Everly will spend the next few weeks healing before beginning <strong>proton radiation therapy</strong> at the Mayo Clinic. These treatments will require Everly’s mom, Beth, to be away from her other four children and family for roughly 6 weeks, possibly longer. Other treatments, such as chemotherapy, may also be needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Between medical bills from the Children’s Hospital, the Mayo Clinic, travel, lodging, and lost work time, the financial strain on the family is overwhelming — all while they try to focus on giving Everly every chance to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created on behalf of my cousin <strong>Chris Domstrand and his family</strong> to help <strong>alleviate the financial burden</strong> on the family as they navigate this long and uncertain road. Chris Domstrand is a <strong>U.S. Marine Corp veteran</strong> currently serving in the Army National Guard, who has been awarded a purple heart and served 3 combat tours. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to the family to help with:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Medical bills
</li>
<li>Travel and lodging during treatment
</li>
<li>Mobility and therapy needs
</li>
<li>Lost income while caring for Everly
</li>
</ul>
<div>If you cannot give financially, your prayers, shares, and encouragement mean the world to this family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Everly Is Fighting. Let’s Fight With Her.</strong>
</div>
<div>Please join us in lifting up Everly and her family as they face the toughest chapter of their lives. Your support allows them to focus on what matters most: helping Everly heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for loving, supporting, and praying for this beautiful 5 year old girl.
</div>
