Support for Baby Hazel's Fight Against Hepatoblastoma

Debbie Wolfe is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Lindsay and Trevor Ward.

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support for our precious baby girl, Hazel. At just under 3 months old, Hazel has been diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma, a rare and aggressive liver cancer that affects only 1 in a million babies. Hazel is currently classified as Stage 2, meaning her tumor cannot be removed immediately.

Recently, Hazel underwent surgery to have a central line inserted, and she will begin her first round of chemotherapy soon after. Over the coming months, Hazel will receive chemotherapy every other week to shrink the tumor, after which she will need surgery to remove it.

Before this diagnosis, Hazel was a vibrant, happy, and curious baby. Her brothers loved reading books to her and telling her stories. It breaks our hearts to see them go through this difficult journey together. The road ahead will include extensive chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery at Oishei’s Children's Hospital, but we are determined to do everything we can to give Hazel the best chance at a healthy, happy life.

However, the financial burden of this battle is overwhelming, even with insurance. The costs of treatments, specialized care, travel to and from the hospital, and other essential needs are mounting. We are asking for your support to help cover these expenses. Our goal is to raise $15,000, and any donation, no matter the size, will go directly towards Hazel’s treatment and care.

Your generosity will not only provide financial relief but also offer much-needed emotional support during this incredibly challenging time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any help you can offer—whether it’s a donation, a kind word, or simply sharing this fundraiser with your network.

With deepest gratitude,

Lindsay, Trevor, Hollis, Hayden, and Hazel
