Help Lily and Her Mom Through This Crisis

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for help. On Saturday, September 21st, 2024, our community lost a beloved member, Joseph Flores. This tragic event has left his family without their sole provider, and we are calling on your compassion and generosity to support them during this incredibly difficult time.

Joseph leaves behind his partner and their precious 5-month-old daughter, Lillianna (Lily). Lily's mother has been a stay-at-home caregiver, dedicating herself to meeting Lily's high medical needs. You see, baby Lily was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called ACC (Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum), which causes her to suffer from daily seizures.

Lily's condition requires frequent trips to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee for specialized care. Despite trying various medications, her seizures remain uncontrolled. Now, Lily is scheduled for critical brain surgery in October 2024, bringing both hope and additional financial strain to the family.

Your support today can make a significant difference in three crucial areas:

Medical Expenses: Help cover Lily's medications and upcoming brain surgery costs.

Transportation: Assist with the expenses of frequent trips to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee.

Funeral Costs: Aid the family in giving Joseph a dignified farewell.

We understand that these are challenging times for many, but we implore you to consider any contribution you can make. Every dollar counts and will go directly to supporting Lily and her mother during this crisis.

Time is of the essence. With Lily's surgery approaching and the family facing immediate financial pressures, your swift action can provide much-needed relief and hope.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion. Your support will not only help with immediate needs but also show this grieving family that they are not alone during this heartbreaking time.

With gratitude and hope,

The Vantrease Family.

P.S. Please share this appeal with your network. The more people who know about Lily's situation, the more support we can garner for this family in need.
