Gabriella Acuna, lovingly known as Gabby or Lela to her friends, is my youngest daughter of three children. She is 19 years old, full of strength and hope, and has always brought so much light to our family. On Thanksgiving night, Gabriella fainted unexpectedly. It wasn’t until two days later, when we took her to the ER, that we learned she had actually suffered a seizure. During her hospital visit, doctors discovered a mass or tumor on her brain. The news was overwhelming and frightening, especially as Gabriella does not have insurance, meaning we are responsible for all of her medical expenses.

Gabriella’s surgery is scheduled for January 8th, 2026. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward Gabriella’s procedure and hospital stay. Every dollar will help ease the financial burden on our family and allow us to focus on supporting Gabriella through her treatment and recovery. We are doing everything we can to ensure she receives the best care possible, but we cannot do it alone.

We are asking for your prayers, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. This is something we never dreamed we would be going through, but we serve a mighty, loving God and have the most amazing support from our family and friends. I know this too shall pass! Thank you for your prayers, calls, and texts—they are all appreciated! Any donation, no matter the size, is truly appreciated and will make a real difference for Gabriella. She is so strong, and we know that God has great plans for her—it's His will. Thank you for standing with us and for keeping Gabriella in your thoughts and prayers.
