<div>On May 30th, 3-year-old Ruby was taken to Cox Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, where doctors discovered a 5 cm tumor at the back of her brain. She was immediately transferred to St. Louis Children’s Hospital for further imaging, and on June 4th, she underwent brain surgery that successfully removed the largest tumor. Unfortunately, four additional tumors remain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ruby was diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive brain tumor - a high-grade glioma, with a specific type not categorized by the World Health Organization—a diagnosis made even more complex by the presence of an NTRK2 gene fusion and CDKN2A/B deletion. Fewer than 1–2% of pediatric brain tumors fall into this category, and even fewer have Ruby’s specific genetic profile.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the NTRK2 mutation, Ruby is eligible for a targeted oral therapy designed to shut off the gene fusion. The hope is that this treatment will stop the tumors from growing—or even destroy the cancer cells completely. She has currently been on this targeted treatment for two months, with an MRI scheduled for 9/23 to check how her tumors are responding to the treatment. It is our prayer and hope that her tumors have stablized or have began shrinking so she can remain on this medication long-term.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ruby is the beloved daughter of Brittny and Justin and the cherished little sister of Connelly. Her family is facing every parent’s worst nightmare with extraordinary strength, grace, and faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created to help ease the significant financial burden they now face. Donations will help cover:
</div>
<div> •	Ongoing medical care and hospital expenses
</div>
<div> •	Specialized therapies and support services for Ruby
</div>
<div> •	Counseling for family
</div>
<div> •	Travel, lodging, and costs related to treatment
</div>
<div> •	Everyday living expenses that allow her parents to stay by her side full-time
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will not only make a difference in this moment—it will give Ruby and her family the freedom to focus on what matters most: being together, making memories, and giving Ruby every chance to heal and thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference. Please consider contributing or sharing Ruby’s story, and keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for lifting up Ruby, Brittny, Justin, and Connelly with your love and support. ❤️
</div>
