Help Addie Mae fight DIPG
Donation protected
Adeline "Addie Mae" Underhill was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (or DIPG as its commonly known) after being Airlifted from Sweetwater TN all the way to Nashville Tn's Vanderbilt Children's hospital. We took her to our local ER initially due to a couple of headaches and then she had this sudden paralysis to half her face. We jumped in the right then and there and went. After a CT scan we were told she had a "mass" in her brain. That was 7/30/17. Once she got to Vanderbilt they ran their own tests and told us on 7/31/17 the unimaginable. She was terminal. There wasn't anything they could do except palliative radiation therapy (Addie completed 30 rounds of radiation) and to "go home and make memories". But we couldn't just do nothing so Addie mae started a medical trial in Michigan in June and we have to travel back and forth every 3 weeks at our own expense. If there is anything you could spare to get Addie back and forth for her trial, therapies, medical bills and everything else that comes with having a sick child, I would be forever grateful.
