Support Ariya's Journey to Healing

Hey Everyone, meet Ariya! Ariya is 8 years old, loves school, and loves to dance and sing. She is an amazing praise dancer. She also loves gymnastics and dreams of one day going to the Olympics.

Ariya has been diagnosed with a neuroblastoma, which is a neural crest tumor located on her spine. The tumor has been found between her T3-T5 vertebrae and measures approximately 1.5 x 1.3 x 2.1 cm.

So far, we aren’t sure if the tumor is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The MRI has helped us locate it, and unfortunately, she will have to undergo surgery in order to run more tests on this tumor. We won’t know for sure what we’re dealing with until we get the tumor out and tested.

Ariya is such a positive and happy girl! She has been so strong through this process. The MRI and CT scan were not easy for her, but she did it. She still has a long road ahead of her no matter the test results. Following the surgery, she will undergo lots of tests on a regular basis to ensure that she will not need chemotherapy. She knows that we will do everything we can to make sure she can continue dancing and doing gymnastics.

We are asking for your help and support. The cost of surgery and constant trips to three different specialists has been very expensive and time-consuming. The amount of work missed has also drastically reduced income. If you could donate to Ariya to help cover the cost of medical expenses and gas, that would be so greatly appreciated. Our Cashapp is $SimplyByrd94 if you prefer that. If you cannot donate, then we ask that you please share and pray for Ariya's healing and strength.
