Scarlett is my spunky, sweet three-year-old daughter who brings so much joy to everyone she meets. She loves Jesus, cartoons, coloring, books, and spending time with her friends and teacher at daycare. Recently, Scarlett started having balance issues, which led us to an orthopedic doctor. After further evaluation, we learned it was likely something neurological, and she was referred to pediatric neurology in Marshfield. An MRI revealed a tumor in the back of her head with fluid building up, and she was quickly sent to Milwaukee children’s hospital for urgent care.


Scarlett has already undergone surgery to have a catheter placed to relieve the fluid buildup, and she is awaiting tumor removal surgery. We won’t know the full extent of her treatment until the doctors are able to assess her condition further. In the meantime, Scarlett is staying in the hospital with us, hooked up to monitors and feeling impatient to get back to her normal life. As her parents, we are doing everything we can to support her, but the costs of gas, food, comfort items, hospital bills, and missing work are quickly adding up. Any help you can offer would mean the world to us during this difficult time.


We also ask for your prayers and support as we navigate Scarlett’s journey. If you know Scarlett, she would love to video chat or have visitors if there’s room on the list that day. Thank you for considering helping our family—your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated beyond measure.
