In many of our lives, Evelyn is always a constant. She is at every event, every celebration, every trivia or bingo night. She brings laughter and joy and connection everywhere she goes, so it was noticeable for many people when she was suddenly absent from events, due to having to undergo her first two brain surgeries, ultimately leading to her Pineoblastoma diagnosis.

Pineoblastoma is a cancerous, rare, and aggressive grade 4 brain tumor that has also spread to the base of her spine. She will be undergoing radiation therapy followed by chemotherapy.

As you can imagine, this has completely changed Evelyn's world. The unexpected surgeries, frequent MRI and CAT scans, and a week in the ICU has been a difficult burden for Evelyn and her family. We are expecting it to get worse as her treatment begins in the coming weeks.

Absolutely any help is appreciated. Every dollar makes a difference. All donations will go to Evelyn's medical bills, gas for getting to treatment, meals, medical supplies, and any unexpected expenses as a result of this painful diagnosis.

Evelyn is so young and full of life- despite the diagnosis, she is still the same kind, compassionate, loving person as before. She has always shown up for others in any way possible, and now she is the one who needs her community to show up for her.

Many people have reached out looking for ways to support Evelyn through this. This is one of many ways, but she also needs your love and support. Kind messages and checking in on her make a world of difference too.

En la vida de muchas personas, Evelyn siempre ha sido una presencia constante. Siempre está ahí: en cada reunión, cada celebración, cada noche de trivia o bingo. Dondequiera que va, contagia alegría, hace reír a los demás y crea un ambiente de cercanía y amistad. Por eso, cuando dejó de asistir repentinamente a los eventos, muchos notaron su ausencia.

Lo que pocos sabían era que Evelyn estaba enfrentando una situación muy difícil. Tuvo que someterse a dos cirugías cerebrales, y fue entonces cuando recibió el diagnóstico de pineoblastoma.

El pineoblastoma es un tumor cerebral canceroso poco común y altamente agresivo de grado 4. Además, el cáncer se ha extendido hasta la base de su columna vertebral. En las próximas semanas comenzará un tratamiento intensivo que incluirá radioterapia y posteriormente quimioterapia.

Como pueden imaginar, esta noticia ha cambiado por completo la vida de Evelyn y de su familia. Las cirugías inesperadas, los constantes estudios médicos, las resonancias magnéticas, las tomografías y una semana en cuidados intensivos han representado una carga emocional, física y económica enorme. Lamentablemente, sabemos que los desafíos serán aún mayores conforme avance su tratamiento.

Cualquier apoyo, por pequeño que parezca, será de gran ayuda. Cada dólar cuenta y marcará una diferencia real. Las donaciones se utilizarán para cubrir gastos médicos, transporte hacia los tratamientos, alimentos, suministros médicos y cualquier gasto inesperado que surja durante este proceso.

Evelyn es una mujer joven, llena de vida, fortaleza y esperanza. A pesar de todo lo que está enfrentando, sigue siendo la misma persona amable, cariñosa y compasiva que siempre ha estado dispuesta a ayudar a los demás. Ahora es ella quien necesita el apoyo de su comunidad.

Muchas personas nos han preguntado cómo pueden ayudar a Evelyn durante este momento tan difícil. Esta es una de las formas de hacerlo, pero también necesita algo igual de importante: sentirse acompañada. Un mensaje de ánimo, una llamada o simplemente hacerle saber que están pensando en ella puede significar muchísimo.

Si prefieren apoyar enviando comidas para ella y su familia, pueden encontrar su calendario de apoyo alimentario aquí: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/l3l98m
