Lilahs Fight
Donation protected
On August 11th, 2023 Madeleine and Chad's life was turned upside down. These are two young parents just starting a beautiful life together and they need our help. This Go Fund Me was set up, at the request of the family, to ease the financial burden that lies ahead. I know we all wish we could do more but this is a start.
For those of you that don't know, on August 10th Maddy took her precious 8 month old, Lilah to emergency in Vernon because she had noticed her mobility had been declining. They ran tests to try and find the cause. The following morning she was airlifted to Vancouver Children's Hospital where she was given an MRI further investigate. Shortly after, they were given the devastating news that little Lilah had a tumor touching her spine. She was taken into surgery that night to alleviate the pressure on her spine in the hopes that she would regain mobility in the lower half of her body. Unfortunately, they were not able to remove the tumor in its entirety.
On August 15th Lilahs biopsy results came back, she has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. More tests will be run to see if it has spread any further and how to proceed with treatment.
Thank you in advance for donating, sharing and sending your love, prayers and kind, encouraging words.
