Please help support my nephew, Ian Angle and his family, as his youngest child, Michael, battles medulloblastoma.

Michael presented with a headache and increased sensitivity to sound. Doctors treated him for an ear infection. After antibiotics were started, his head pain remained unrelenting, so he was rushed to the hospital. The medical team ordered a CT scan of his head, which showed a 4cm mass in his brain as well as cerebrospinal fluid buildup. He was then immediately transported to Riley Children's Hospital, 2 hours away from home, in Indianapolis. The surgeons initially placed a stent to drain the trapped CSF. After his medical team performed further testing, doctors gave Michael the heart-wrenching diagnosis of medulloblastoma. Then, on Michael's 5th birthday (2/4), he had a very lengthy surgery to remove the mass from his cerebellum. Everything happened so quickly and has been quite the whirlwind of emotions for our family. Now, as the family waits for final pathology results, Michael faces more testing, therapies, and a long road of treatments ahead.

His dad, Ian, is doing everything he can to be with Michael while also caring for Michael's 3 older siblings at home, 2 hours away. As a commission-based worker, every missed workday means loss of income, and the cost of travel, food, gas, and medical expenses are adding up quickly.

We are raising funds to help keep Ian and his family close by Michael's side without the crushing weight of financial stress. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you are unable to give, we would appreciate you sharing.

In addition to donating and sharing with others, please keep Michael, his siblings, his parents, Katherine and Ian, and all of their extended family in your prayers as we navigate through this difficult time.

The family has asked for privacy during this time, so I will be posting updates as they get them here.

Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support.
