Support for Deanna & Family's Battle Against Brain Cancer

My name is Daniella and I am trying to raise funds for me and my family in support of my mom, Deanna. Anyone who knows my mom knows what a big heart and an amazing zest for life she has. That zest for life partially comes from her dealing with and defeating a benign brain tumor at the age of 17, which still required much medical attention and treatments. My mom slayed that tumor, being the warrior that she is (and with the love and support of my Nanny and family) and went on to live a very happy life filled with love, joy, and many blessings. My brother, Dillon, and I thank God because without her strength then, we would not be here today.

That all abruptly changed on May 13, when she was rushed to the hospital in a state of immense confusion and upset. After a hospital transfer, multiple tests and MRI's, our family has just been given the absolute most devastating news, the ugliest word in our existence.

CANCER!

My mom has been diagnosed with a very aggressive, inoperable, malignant brain tumor. My family and I are shattered with this news. We have not been able to absorb the enormity of what this means. This is my mom! My brother, Dillon, and I are inconsolable. My Nanny is absolutely broken seeing her sweet baby girl lying in a hospital bed. Her fiance, Joe, is heartbroken. Her extended family and closest friends are crushed beyond belief. She is being stolen from us a little more every single day and we are completely useless to do anything about it. We are overwhelmed with sadness while trying to stay strong for the incredible person my mom is!

I truly struggled with the idea of making this page. That was until the doctors came and informed us that my mom's time with us is very limited. The doctors are doing everything they can. We are doing anything we can to help her, comfort her and to give her everything she needs. My mom has always put my brother and I first and made sure we have and had everything we needed. Dillon and I now want to do the same for her and are asking if you could please help us do that. We will continue to love and support my mom no matter what, however, I created this page to ask if you can help us in any way to make this any easier for myself and family we would greatly appreciate it.

One thing I know, prayers don't cost a thing...so when sending your positive vibes out into the universe, please ask for peace and blessings for my beautiful mom.
