Help Ellie Crush Cancer

My nephew Jack's family have been tested beyond belief.  In less than three years both his wife and daughter have been diagnosed with cancer.  Not only do they need your prayers but financial help.

My 2 1/2 year old niece, Ellie Hanney, recently had two surgeries to remove the majority of a tumor from the base of her brain.   We are relieved she did well in surgery but she has a long road ahead of her with chemotherapy, radiation treatments and both physical and occupational therapy.  

The diagnosis was especially devastating because when Ellie and her twin brother were only one years old their mother, Katie, was diagnosed with stage-3 breast cancer.  We are grateful her prognosis is good and for now the doctors have given her a clean bill of health.

Just when they were starting to recuperate emotionally and financially from Katie's cancer journey Ellie started to get sick.  

Ellie's family now are dealing with a second major illness.  In addition to balancing time with Ellie in the hospital and raising her two brothers they both have fulltime jobs with limited paid family leave.  Again, this couple are dealing with high deductibles, multitudes of copays and out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance.  





Any size donation will be greatly appreciated.  My hope is that if enough people participate, the stress and burden will be lifted so they can focus on tending to sweet Ellie.  Even small donations of $5 and $10 will eventually add up.  Just take a look at other gofundme campaigns that have raised thousands of dollars with small donations.

Thank you for reading about this sweet family who are hurting and worried about their little Ellie.  I know they will be feeling the love and support from an extended web community.
