The Impact Your Gift Makes
Athena was 17 months old when she had an unexpected seizure at breakfast, she was rushed by her parents to the ER where they did a CT Scan and found a mass in the front left lobe of her brain. From the ER Athena was life flighted to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio-where they fully resected the tumor and discovered it was AT/RT. Athena went through five months of chemo and when it came time to talk radiation her oncologists said they recommended not doing it because she was under the age of three and she had not relapsed during treatment. AFF helped us pay bills while mom was in the hospital with Athena, without them-we wouldn’t have had a home to come back to after treatment. We will never be able to repay their kindness and generosity, but we will forever be grateful!
