Please Help my Family Survive Cancer

Donation protected
My 14 y/o Autistic Daughter (at the time 13) took to the ER at the end of March 2019 for a stomach ache when we discovered the stomach ache turned out to be a little under 20 pound tumor that had been growing in her for years. We had always wondered why she was never growing properly, she was only 78 pounds at the time. It was taking most of her proteins and vitamins, it fed off of her. She'd only get taller instead, we were even accused of not feeding her properly when it was the tumor the entire time.  The tumor was the shape of a fetus. This wasnt a normal tumor. It was called a yolk sac tumor. The tumor was attached to her left fallopian tube and ovary. She was diagnosed with a rare cancer Yolk Sac Tumor which became Germ Cell Cancer after it was removed. The same night we took her in for the stomach ache, they rushed her to Nemours so, she could get emergency surgery as soon as possible within a few days.  The surgeons had to go in surgery basically blind because they had no idea what all was attached since the tumor was blocking their vision. The doctors said everything was starting to look alright and its been almost nearly a year since then but sadly Feb 19, we had gotten a call saying her protein called Alpha-fetoprotein, had increased by alot and they needed to see her as fast as possible. They did test and found she had gotten another tumor right underneath next to her heart. It grew alot within a few weeks.  They aren't able to remove it because it's too risky. They have put in a port now and have to do strong chemo. They say it needs to shrink because the area it's in, it's our only option for right now. With my husband having to take off of work to take her out of town for certain appointments to Nemours is putting a big toll on our lives and we are struggling to make ends meet with all the cost to take her back and forth like the gas, tolls, and food when we have to stay there etc. She sees alot of different special doctors. I am unable to work a normal job having to take care of her. My husband is the only one able to work a normal job. He's been having to take off of work to be there when he needs too but that has put us in a bind. She is having to go to a special school for her autism and other mental behaviors and the cost to pay for that and also the gas because it's in another city is getting out of hand. There's not much help out there and not much more we can do. We tried all possible ways to get help and honestly this is our last resort.
