Addalyn “Addie” Bourasaw is our 8 year old daughter who was diagnosed with DIPG on February 15th, 2021. DIPG is a rare, aggressive, inoperable, incurable brain tumor on the brain stem that interferes with the body’s functions as it grows. This cancer usually affects kids and between 5-9 year olds. Most kids will only live for 6-9 months after diagnosis. 

Our family is fundraising for travel expenses back and forth to Oklahoma to visit Addie monthly where she resides with her mom. We have three other children (7, 16 months and 2 months old) who travel with us to visit their sister. The expenses include air tickets, air bnb stays, food and taking time off from work.
