On September 27th, three weeks before Aubrey's 2nd birthday her parents were told the shocking news of why their daughter was so sick...she had cancer. Aubrey was taken to the University of Iowa Children's Hospital and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) B-Cell type. She is considered standard risk. She stayed in the hospital for almost two weeks and was finally able to go home four days before her 2nd birthday. Aubrey's parents, Trisha and Tony, were by her side the whole time. Now that they are home, in Waterloo, Trisha continues to stay home with Aubrey while Tony has gone back to work. Trisha has taken a leave from her job as an Assistant Direct at a daycare. Trisha drives Aubrey to Iowa City for chemotherapy, check-ups, and blood work. 

Many of you have offered to help in any way possible and I am asking you to consider giving whatever money you can to support Trisha, Tony and Aubrey during this very difficult time.  These funds will go directly toward medical expenses, travel cost, living expenses, and the many other expenses not covered by their healthcare. With the generous financial support of family and friends, Trisha and Tony can focus on getting Aubrey back to her spunky healthy self and not worry about how to cover the cost of her treatment and care.  While your financial support would be greatly appreciated, please don’t feel obligated to contribute if this is beyond your means.

On behalf of Tony, Trisha and Aubrey, I would like to thank you in advance for your love and support.
