5yr old Traviana Fights DIPG

Traviana has been diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). As many may not be familiar, DIPG is a type of brain tumor found in an area of the brainstem known as the pons. The pons is the portion of the brain that helps sends messages to the spinal cord as well as the rest of the body. It helps to control important functions of the body which include the heartbeat, sleeping, and breathing. It has been said that, once the tumor begins to grow no further treatment is capable to help with survival. In this case, due to the tumor consistently growing the doctors are saying theirs not many options left for little Traviana.

Traviana is the perfect definition of a real-life power ranger. She always has a smile on her face, always so loving, kind, helpful, playful and energetic. Traviana loves her sisters, she also loves LOL dolls as they are her favorite. Traviana’s mom asked her what’s her biggest wish and she said her biggest wish was to go to Disney World. Traviana doesn’t understand nor realize what’s going on as she wakes up daily with a huge smile on her face, but of course, it is so devastating for her mother to sit by her side every single day in the hospital and be told there is nothing that can be done to increase Travian’s life span. Seeing her daughter not capable of doing normal activities that she is used to doing is so heartbreaking. Traviana’s strength is commendable as she continues to keep her mother strong and pushing day by day with her beautiful smile, loving heart, and little hands that she uses to wipe her mother's tears away. Her mother calls those tears happy tears as she has faith to know there is something or someone out there that could help with a positive outcome for Traviana. I believe that as a universe there is more that can be done as we don’t want to give up on Traviana and are not going to! We’re asking for help finding a specialist that specializes in DIPG as well as funding to get help with medical bills and getting more clinical resources on DIPG. We are in desperate need of getting any assistance to help save little Traviana as we refuse to give up on her bright little smile, and happy joyful spirit that can brighten anyone's day.

Thank you all so much for taking your time out to read and help little Traviana. Anything helps, as we are beyond grateful for all donations. We are in hopes for a positive outcome for little Traviana. because with the universe anything is possible.
