Our world changed forever on November 2025, when our daughter, Ginny (4 years old), was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.
What began as lingering pain soon became our family’s greatest battle. In what felt like the blink of an eye, hospital visits turned into devastating answers and our lives were never the same.
We are at Dana-Farber / Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center (Boston, MA), where Ginny has begun an intense, years-long treatment protocol involving chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.
Despite the fear, the exhaustion, and the pain, our sweet, energetic, and loving little girl continues to show us what true bravery looks like every single day.
Our Immediate Need —The First Goal:
$25,000
As we pour every ounce of our strength into caring for Ginny, a financial avalanche has begun.
Our first critical fundraising goal is $25,000.
This is not the full cost it is the urgent first step that allows us to keep moving forward right now.
This initial $25,000
will directly help cover:
Insurance Deductible $10,000
To activate our coverage for the year and ensure treatment continues without interruption.
Travel & Lodging (First 2 Months) $8,000
For bi-weekly trips to Boston, including gas, tolls, and safe lodging near the hospital.
Initial Prescriptions & Medical Supplies $5,000
For critical medications and supplies not fully covered by insurance.
These costs are immediate, unavoidable, and necessary to keep Ginny’s treatment on track.
Transparency About the Full Journey
We want to be completely honest with you.
Doctors have told us that the total cost of Ginny’s treatment combined with lost income and essential family expenses is expected to exceed $200,000 over the coming years.
Why we’re starting with $25,000
We believe in setting an achievable first milestone. Reaching this goal will:
Secure the foundation of Ginny’s treatment for the coming critical weeks
Allow us to focus on her care instead of financial survival
Create momentum and hope as we continue this long journey
We promise to update this goal transparently as we move through each phase of treatment and understand future needs.
