Oh look, It's Brain Surgery !

This is my niece Cailyn, she’s three years old and was recently diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) . This is a very rare form of tumor diagnosed in only 200 children a year in the united states. The tumor is sitting on her brain stem and is inoperable. She just finished her first round of radiation, but other wise there is not much else the doctors can do. UNLESS she gets to take part in an experimental treatment in NY. My brother is in the Navy, and their insurance will not cover the cost. 

I am asking that my followers help me out with a signal boost for Cailyn, whether it be for prayers or donating to her fund to help her recieve treatment. The average length of survival with this type of cancer is 9 months, with about 30% making it a year, and less than 10% making it 2 years. 

You can donate to her fund by following this link, where you can also read more about her illness: Cailyn’s Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation

Spread the word. Donate. Save a life.

Everyone, I know this kid’s aunt. This is legitimate. 
I need your help. Please, spread the word, and if you can, donate to her foundation. Help save a kid’s life.  

Come on guys, please spread the word, and help! This is important.

Legitimate or not, at least I’m doing my part. 

Legitimate. I know this little girl’s aunt. 
It’s awful that we’ve been scammed so many times, that when someone REALLY needs us, we hesitate.  

This is a awful disease, with very poor outcome in most of cases. We should do everything in our power to fight this rare condition and help a little girl to live. At least try our best. Please help her, and spread the message.
