I created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Evangeline and Matt, who are living every parent's worst nightmare.

I met Evie and Matt in 2021, when my own daughter was going through cancer. We met at church, and from the very beginning, they were a source of comfort, support, light, and love as my Callie battled cancer.

As a mom who has been in their shoes, I can only imagine the fear, pain, and uncertainty they are feeling now as they face Lilli's diagnosis.

Lilli was only three and a half years old when she was diagnosed with orbital rhabdomyosarcoma in late 2024. Since then, she has endured countless appointments, treatments, and hospital stays that no child or parent should ever have to face. Through it all, Lilli has shown a bravery that is nothing short of remarkable.

Evie and Matt are devoted parents, doing everything they can to support Lilli, from sitting by her bedside during long treatments to comforting her through the most difficult days. The financial burden of Lilli’s care is overwhelming, and this fundraiser is a way for all of us to step in, help lift that burden, and give this family the support they so desperately need.

UPDATE AS OF JANUARY 2026

Evie and Matt would like to sincerely thank everyone who has helped so far, including friends, family, and our church community who have sent donations personally, offered prayers, and reached out with messages of love and support.

As of January 2026, Lilli’s cancer has unfortunately worsened, making her fight even more urgent. Every donation and prayer continues to give Lilli hope, strength, and the resources she needs to keep fighting.

UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY 23, 2026

It is with a sad heart that we announce the passing of our beautiful Elianna Rae. She gained her angel wings on February 22, 2026 at 4:15 PM, surrounded by love and light during her final days.

On behalf of Mommy Evie, Daddy Matt, Auntie Kaye and Rebecca, Uncle Thadd, Grandma Betty and Luisa, Grandpa John and Tino, and everyone who has loved Lilli, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who has helped and supported our family during this time. Your kindness, prayers, and generosity have meant more than words can express.

We would especially like to thank the church for being so extremely helpful and for surrounding us with comfort, strength, and faith.

Our sweet Elianna Rae will forever live in our hearts.
