I am starting this GoFundMe post for my youngest daughter, Ariana. She has had her whole life changed in an instant. She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor on her brain stem and hydrocephalus a week ago and had to be airlifted to a trauma hospital for better neurosurgery care. The fluid buildup on her brain was causing severe pressure headaches, pressure, and hemorrhaging behind her eyes, and vision issues. The tumor is situated on top of her brainstem and is too deep to even biopsy and cannot be removed due to the position of the tumor. She underwent emergency brain surgery to drill a new hole/pathway for the fluid to drain and relieve the pressure on her brain.

So far, thank the Lord, the surgery seems to be doing what it is supposed to. She is still in the hospital but hopefully will be released home to continue recovering. She will be off work for the foreseeable future, so I am trying to raise some funds for her to help cover any future expenses with living, medical, home, etc., until she can be cleared to return to work.

My daughter is the ray of sunshine that shines through the darkness of a lot of people's lives. She is always the one putting everyone else's needs ahead of her own, and now I am asking for her to be thought of and cared for as much as she does for others. She would probably be upset at me for posting and setting this fund up, but she cannot work while recovering from all this, and we still don't know what path will be taken on the tumor, whether just watch and see or radiation approach. So please, anyone, anything you can donate to help her would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless you all.
