Prayers and Support for Leo

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Madyson McQuaig and I'm creating this GoFundMe on behalf of Leo and his family. For everyone that knows Leo, you know that he is loving, caring, and brings so much joy to everyone. Leo is currently fighting one of the hardest battles of his life and he and his family could really use the funds. For everyone who knows his family, you know they'd never ask, but at this time, I think anything would help.

Leo started having small seizures and the cause was unknown. He then had another seizure on March 11th and was life-flighted to TMH, where he was then life-flighted to Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville. On Thursday, Leo had an MRI done where they found a tumor on his brain. On Friday morning, Leo had brain surgery to remove fluid from his brain. During this procedure, they found that there were two tumors. One they were able to take for biopsy, and the other was in a much more sensitive area and too dangerous to take for biopsy. Leo's family has spoken to a neurologist, and even though test results from the biopsy aren't back yet, based on his experience, he believes that Leo has a large midline glioma, which is a tumor that attacks the brain stem and is inoperable. Leo is still smiling and acting his silly self through all of this because he is a fighter, and we all know that he won't give up.

Leo will be going through chemotherapy and radiation, and he will be down for a while. Due to these circumstances, Leo's family is unable to attend work due to being by his side through all of this. We ask that you keep Leo and his family in your thoughts and prayers, and any funds received will go directly to his family.
