Ella Snyder is a brave and beautiful 8-year-old girl who has been battling a brain tumor since the age of 3. On September 12th, during what was supposed to be a routine MRI at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, tragedy struck. A blood vessel inside Ella’s tumor ruptured, and since that moment she has remained in the ICU. She has not regained consciousness, and her family has been faithfully by her side, praying without ceasing for God to bring a miracle.
Ella’s mother, Tara, her fiancé, Tyler, and her little brother, Easton, have been at St. Jude every step of the way. They are holding tightly to their faith and trusting in God’s plan, but this journey has come with unimaginable emotional and financial strain. With Tara and Tyler unable to work while they stay by Ella’s side, the family is facing not only the costs of being away from home, but also the ongoing bills and expenses that don’t stop in times like these.
This fundraiser has been created to support Ella and her family in this fight. Donations will go directly toward helping with any medical expenses not covered, living expenses while they remain at St. Jude, and regular bills back home. Every dollar makes a difference — but just as important are your prayers. Ella’s family firmly believes in the power of prayer and is asking for everyone to join them in lifting Ella up to God, praying for healing, strength, and peace. Please help us surround Ella, Tara, Tyler, and Easton with love, support, and faith during this heartbreaking time. Whether through a financial gift, a prayer, or by sharing this story, anything you can do is deeply appreciated.
