Meet Zara: A Brave 3-Year-Old Fighting Stage 4 Neuroblastoma

Zara is a sweet, energetic 3-year-old girl who brings joy to everyone around her. She has three sisters who adore her, and is eagerly awaiting the arrival of another baby sister due on November 26th. But in the span of just a few weeks, Zara’s life has been turned upside down. She went from being bright and healthy to not being able to sit up or walk within just three weeks. That’s how quickly the disease has progressed.

Zara was recently diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer that has spread throughout her body. The rapid progression of her illness has left her parents, Ellyssa and John, facing overwhelming challenges. Ellyssa has been unable to work while staying by Zara’s side, and John has been caring for the girls full time, unable to work as well. Their focus is entirely on supporting Zara, which has made it incredibly difficult to manage the financial burden of medical bills, groceries, and the daily commute to and from the hospital.

As Zara begins her treatment in the coming weeks, the family is in need of support. Your donations will go directly toward easing their financial stress, helping to cover expenses so they can focus on what matters most — being there for Zara and her sisters during this incredibly difficult time. 

Ellyssa and John ask for all the prayers at this time that she will be lifted up for healing 🫶🏼
