Our 7-year-old grandson, Isaac, was recently diagnosed with DIPG, a rare and aggressive pediatric brain tumor. Nothing prepares a family for words like this—especially when they’re spoken about a child who should be worrying about school or playing outside. Isaac is a bright, brave, and loving little boy who brings so much joy to everyone around him. Watching him face something so big at such a young age has been devastating, and our family is doing everything we can to support him and his parents during this unimaginable time.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden that comes with medical care, travel to specialists, treatments, time away from work, and everyday expenses that don’t stop just because life has turned upside down. Any donation—no matter the size—means more than we can put into words. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page and keeping Isaac in your thoughts and prayers is just as appreciated. Thank you for surrounding our family with love, kindness, and support during the hardest moment of our lives.
