<div><strong>Maisy Geyer is a wonderfully sassy, sweet, and incredibly brave 4-year-old</strong> from Havertown, PA, who is courageously battling B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) which is a rare and aggressive blood and bone marrow cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For our 14th Annual Victoria Rose Fund Benefit, “Team Maisy,” which will be on October 24 from 2-5pm at Aston Barnaby’s,  we will honor and fundraise for this incredibly brave 4-year-old girl.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We call her Marvelous Maisy. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even though much of Maisy’s childhood is spent in treatment instead of doing the things most kids her age get to do, her bright smile continues to light up every room she enters. She loves all things princesses, enjoys preschool at St. Dorothy’s, and is happiest playing and making memories with her cousins, 6-year-old sister, 2-year-old brother, and newborn baby brother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last November, Maisy's parents became concerned after she developed a persistent limp and a bump on her head that wouldn't go away. After bloodwork and imaging, she was urgently referred to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for further evaluation. At CHOP, doctors conducted additional testing, including new X-rays that revealed an abnormality in her left leg consistent with cancer involvement. On December 7, 2025, Maisy was diagnosed with B-ALL.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since her diagnosis, Maisy has already endured numerous lumbar punctures, frequent scans and blood work, weekly chemotherapy treatments, immunotherapy with Blina administered through a continuous intravenous infusion, and frequent unexpected overnight hospital stays.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to not responding well to several chemotherapy protocols, her medical team has had to adjust her chemotherapy regimen multiple times. Her treatment plan at CHOP is expected to continue for another two years and will include additional chemotherapy, lumbar punctures, and other unpredictable procedures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Maisy faces a lengthy road ahead, so does her family. The Geyer family is facing significant financial strain from the costs of cancer treatment and care, including increased grocery expenses to ensure Maisy has foods she can tolerate while helping her maintain her weight and strength throughout treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Keeping enough food in the house for Maisy, her siblings, and themselves is something the Geyer family never imagined they would have to worry about. Frequent trips to and from CHOP also bring significant transportation and fuel costs, adding even more stress and anxiety to an already overwhelming situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maisy entered the delayed intensification phase of treatment this past July and the family is now given even greater challenges. Due to the intensity of the chemotherapy regimen, Erin will have to take significant time away from work to care for her daughter. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Erin’s husband is working as much as possible and with young children and a new born at home the Geyer’s are facing tremendous emotional and financial hardship. These burdens will likely continue throughout Maisy's treatment and recovery which is foreseen to be for another 2 ½ years.

<div><strong>The Victoria Rose Fund</strong>
</div>
<div>The Victoria Rose Fund, Inc. is a small, family-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Pennsylvania that relies solely on the generosity of donors and community partners to carry out our mission. Unlike larger national cancer organizations, our small size allows us to provide personal, direct support to children, young adults, and families facing the overwhelming emotional and financial challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our mission is to help those suffering from all aspects of cancer by providing comfort, hope, resources, and financial relief through our various giving programs and community initiatives. Funding support would allow us to continue expanding these programs and reaching more families who desperately need assistance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of our most impactful initiatives is our Annual Victoria Rose Fund Benefits. For more than 12 years, we have supported local Delaware County, Philadelphia, and surrounding area families who are struggling with the immense burdens associated with cancer treatment. These community events bring together local businesses, families, friends, and supporters to provide direct financial assistance while surrounding our honorees with compassion, encouragement, and hope. Each benefit serves as a reminder to families that they are supported and that NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE.
