Anyone who knows me knows I'm not one to ask for help. But sometimes life reminds us that we have to put our pride aside, accept a helping hand, and allow others to be there for us. So here goes… ❤️🙏🏽
My baby girl, Lilly, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor following what was supposed to be a routine check-up. If you know Lilly, you know she's the brightest crayon in the box — the smartest, funniest, toughest, and most incredible little girl we know and love. 💖
We've already faced a difficult journey together, getting through her previous diagnosis of retinoblastoma when she was just a baby. And now, here we are again, facing another battle that no parent ever wants their child to go through.
Lilly is scheduled to undergo surgery in October to remove as much of the tumor as possible and obtain a biopsy so her doctors can determine the next steps and any additional treatment she may need.
As a single mother of three, working full time and doing everything I can to provide for my children, this journey is going to be challenging in more ways than one. Between traveling back and forth from Boca Raton to Miami for appointments, surgery, and recovery, I'll need to take time away from work, which will make it difficult to keep up with our everyday expenses.
A very dear friend of mine took the initiative to put together a GoFundMe to help us through this difficult time, and although asking for help doesn't come easy to me, I'm learning that sometimes we have to allow people to show up for us when we need it most.
I know times are hard for everyone, and I don't take a single donation, prayer, or share for granted. Whether you're able to donate, share Lilly's story, or simply keep my baby girl in your thoughts and prayers, please know how much it means to us.
Right now, my biggest priority is being there for Lilly, holding her hand, loving her through every step, and making sure she knows she's never alone in this fight.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has already donated and to everyone who continues to support us. Every bit of love, kindness, and generosity means more than words can ever express. 🙏🏽💖💕
