Hi, my name is Cristina and this beautiful littler girl is our amazing 5 year old daughter Nahla Perez. Nahla brave journey started in may of 2023 when she had her first seizure, we were completely thrown off as to what would cause this extremely happy healthy child to have a seizure, then just a week later she had two more seizures. She was rushed to the emergency room where they found a small mass in her brain. This small mass turned out to be what is called anaplastic ependymoma, a cancerous tumor that completely turned our life around. Nahla had two tumors removed then she endured 6 weeks of proton radiation. We were so excited to see her MRI look tumor free the weekend before Christmas. After a follow up MRI just a few weeks ago her oncologist alerted me another tumor has started to grow. We are devastated, Nahla had her third surgery on February 21st and she is recovering like nothing even happened. This means though we will go through another round of radiation and possibly chemo afterwards. Last September after we found out about her first tumor my husband was laid off from his job which he was with for the past 12 years. We lost our insurance and other funds to help us get by. My husband has not been able to return to any line of work as her radiation treatments are Monday through Friday and also ongoing appointments with neurologist and oncologist. We are asking for any donations, positive thoughts and prayers as we try to survive this next round of radiation and possibly chemo. We thank you all for your time and reading about our journey over the last year.
Please consider donating any amount to help this family as Nahla continues his recovery journey.
