Please Help Olivia Ross & her Family

 

On December 4th, Olivia was rushed to the Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia (CHOP) with a condition called Hydrocephalus due to increased fluid and pressure buildup in her brain. She subsequently was diagnosed with a brain tumor, called medulloblastoma, that spread to the spinal cord. Fortunately, she was able to undergo a ventricular drain placement to relieve the pressure in her brain as well as surgery to remove much of the tumor in the brain. However, given the aggressive nature of the tumor in her spine, Olivia will need to undergo intensive treatment with multiple chemotherapy drugs over the next several months.

 

Olivia is extremely fortunate to receive care at CHOP, but the hardship for her family will be significant. To be with Olivia, they may need to rent an apartment in Philadelphia and take significant time away from work. We hope that you will give whatever you can to support Olivia and her parents through these challenging times.

 

We also ask that you keep Olivia in your prayers as she begins treatment next week. We are so grateful to God and all of you for helping us through this.
