******************************

Hello, my name is Clara, and this is my daughter, Talitha she goes by Tali. She is 11 years old and has the biggest heart. She loves dancing, and her favorite sport is cheer. Tali is the oldest of four children and truly the best big sister anyone could ask for, She is loving, protective, and always thinking of others before herself.

In September of last year, we noticed that Tali's eye began to bulge outward. Concerned, we took her to an eye doctor, who immediately referred us to a neurologist. After multiple MRIs, X-rays, and an ultrasound, the neurologist discovered a 1x1 inch mass located between her brain and her eye.

Due to the severity and delicate location of the mass, Talitha had to undergo a biopsy in October 2025. The results showed that she has a benign spindle cell tumor with smooth muscle differentiation. While we are incredibly grateful that the tumor is benign, the neurosurgeon explained that its location still requires a HIGH RISK surgery in order to attempt removal.

Tali will need to be operated on by both a neurosurgical team and an ophthalmic surgical team, meaning brain and eye surgeons working together. This also means significantly higher medical costs, as each team bills separately.

The surgery was originally scheduled for January 2026. However, on December 1, 2025, our family was involved in a serious car accident. Tali was injured and broke two bones in her arm. While we are beyond grateful that our lives were spared, the accident added immense emotional, physical, and financial stress to an already overwhelming situation. Because of this, her surgery has now been rescheduled for February 2026.

We are creating this Go Fund Me to help cover Tali's medical expenses, including surgeries, hospital stays, follow-up care, and ongoing treatments. This journey has taken a heavy toll on our family financially and emotionally, and we are doing everything we can to stay strong for our children.

Any support, whether through donations, prayers, or sharing this fundraiser means more to us than words can express. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read our story and for standing with us during this difficult time.
