This is an exercise in figuring it all out.

Update on Cailyn:
Our sweet girl is currently at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston facing surgery to have a shunt inserted to relieve swelling of her brain. Our family needs your prayers and thoughts now more than ever. Only 30% of DIPG patients make it 9 months after diagnosis, and Cailyn was diagnosed in March. She has gone through radiation and chemo (which DIPG is resistant to) and treatment has so far been unsuccessful.
I’m struggling with understanding why and how this happens to 4 year old. BUT I’M NOT GIVING UP YET. I’ve seen more than one miracle in my life and I’m asking you all to join me in asking whatever G-d you believe in for one more for my precious niece.
This is my niece Cailyn, she’s three years old and was recently diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) . This is a very rare form of tumor diagnosed in only 200 children a year in the united states. The tumor is sitting on her brain stem and is inoperable. She just finished her first round of radiation, but other wise there is not much else the doctors can do. UNLESS she gets to take part in an experimental treatment in NY. My brother is in the Navy, and their insurance will not cover the cost.
I am asking that my followers help me out with a signal boost for Cailyn, whether it be for prayers or donating to her fund to help her recieve treatment. The average length of survival with this type of cancer is 9 months, with about 30% making it a year, and less than 10% making it 2 years.

As of May 5th we have raised $745 - thank you for keeping this going, we still have a long way to go and only a month to go. Even with the help of Ronald McDonald house it will cost $1800 for room and board in NY while Cailyn seeks treatment.
This is my attempt at puppy dog eyes. These are for my followers that are more “Tumblr Famous” than I am. I understand you owe me NOTHING, but I am pleading with you to please reblog the post about my niece’s cancer treatment. I never ever ever ask for anything like this and it’s for a sweet little 3 year old who is right now looking at about 8 months to live. PLEASE help my family raise the money for her to seek treatment that her insurance will not cover. (THANKS U.S. NAVY AND YOUR SHITTY MILITARY INSURANCE!)
Also, a huge thank you to FUCKYEAHMEDICALSTUFF for helping me promote this cause. Thanks to her reach we were able to raise $200 since yesterday, only 98% more of our goal to go.

lula-june reblogged your photo: This is my niece Cailyn, she’s three years old and…
Why doesn’t this have MORE REBLOGS yet? Get on it, people.
Thank you! We are grateful for the attention we’ve gotten in a couple of days, but yes it is a little disappointed that in the thousands of people this is currently reaching that more aren’t at least getting the word out. It’s ok though, the world owes us nothing, and we will fight until we succeed.
Thank you, Tumblr.
For helping spread the word about my niece. I am standing here in tears at how fast the post is spreading. Please keep it up. As a mother one of my greatest fears is seeing my children suffer, I can’t begin to imagine what my brother and sister in law are going through right now.
Please keep praying and spreading the word for Cailyn. <— For those of you who would like to keep up with her progress this is the link to her treatment blog. I’ve added a widget on my page that you can directly donate through.
Our goal is $10,000 US, and we have until May 31st to raise the money. ANY amount will help, even 50 cents.
