Dear Family and Friends,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support for our beloved niece, Isabelle (Izzy). At just 10 years old, Izzy is a vibrant child with beautiful blue eyes and a smile that lights up any room. Recently, she began experiencing significant pain and discomfort, which led to a series of tests and eventually, a heartbreaking diagnosis.

Izzy was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that primarily affects young children. The diagnosis came after doctors discovered multiple masses in her stomach, pelvic area, and hip. She will need to undergo intense chemotherapy and possibly surgery over the next two years, with treatment taking place at Connecticut Children’s Hospital.

As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly challenging time for Izzy and her family. Her mother, Jessica, has had to step away from work to be by Izzy’s side, and the financial strain is overwhelming. Additionally, the distance between their home and the hospital, over an hour away, adds to the burden. Izzy’s younger brother, Jake, has also felt the impact, as Jessica is unable to spend as much time with him during this difficult period.

We are asking for your help to ease their financial strain so they can focus on what truly matters—Izzy’s treatment and recovery. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated and will go directly toward supporting their family during this challenging time.

Please find it in your hearts to help if you can. Your support and generosity will make a world of difference as they navigate this incredibly tough journey.

With gratitude,

The Torres' Family
