Help Gwen In Her Battle Against Cancer
Make a donation.
Gwen and her family need your help now more than ever. 5 year old Gwen was recently diagnosed with a DIPG tumor, a rare cancer at the base of the brain stem. She is currently at Children’s hospital and has undergone surgery to relieve symptoms of the tumor. She has lots of medical expenses piling up, including clinical trials to fight this cancer. Her mother, Christan, is also currently pregnant. This money will go towards medical expenses for Gwen, as well as the financial burden of travel, time off work, food, and other expenses for the family as they help Gwen through this tough time.

We also created an Amazon wish list for some things we need for Gwen, our 5 year old Princess who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated; you don’t have to buy the quantities that are on the list. We are turning a room into hers and we need bedding for her parents. Lots of cleaning supplies since she has a PICC line. We need to have extra blankets and sheets in case of accidents. Pull-ups and wipes as well as her needs change. I have added a few things to help decorate her room too. We need a monitor to be able to keep an eye on her because she is unstable so we need to be around if she wakes up or tries to get up. If you think of anything else you think we might need I haven’t listed please feel free to send it to us. Thank you. If you can’t help, please share.
About Gwen
Shortly after her 5th birthday, Gwen started having difficulty with her coordination. After visiting her doctor in Tyler, she was told to travel to Dallas for further testing. After a long and difficult full day at the hospital, they found a mass in her brain. Unfortunately, the mass was determined to be a DIPG tumor, a rare cancer at the base of the brain stem. This website has been created in order to raise awareness, gather donations for Gwen’s medical expenses, and for loved ones to follow Gwen’s journey and leave encouraging words.

I came to Galveston to take my son on a fishing trip that I bought him for Christmas. It was planned before Gwen got sick. It was so hard to leave her and I may have been holding back tears as I left the house. We drove all the way in storms. It took us 7 1/2 hours to get here. The stretch between Conroe and Houston on I45 I will forever hate. 😅 The electricity was off when we got here. Then it went off at get up at 4:30 again this morning and we had to be at the boat at 6:30. We were on the boat for an hour of him driving out to the fishing spot. At this point he had to keep stopping. The waves were so big I was getting thrown in the air off the bench and the big coolers that you could probably put 4 or 5 of me in were sliding all over. He canceled the trip and brought us back. So needless to say the trip has not been great. However, I did get this pic of Gwen when Christan asked her if they could FaceTime me. So I got a FaceTime call with her which absolutely made up for all the bad on the trip. She doesn’t like to talk on the telephone home to anyone so I’m super thankful she surprised me and gave me the two thumbs up of approval to call me. Please keep our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean in your prayers!💕💕💕 I’m so over 2024 😅

Gwen was happy to be home this afternoon. She got some surprises from some friends and just wanted to sit on the couch for the rest of the afternoon. She was happy to see Nala and Simba too. She asked about them before we even walked through the door. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess our Little Bean! And thank you all who have donated, prayed, and sent stuff to Gwen we are all very thankful! ❤️

Gwen having a good time throwing rocks 🪨 hanging out at the river enjoying the wind and the sun ☀️. Then she went to eat with us. It’s a rare occasion that she goes out to eat with us. There’s no place any of us would have rather been than with her here today. We are so blessed and thankful for each precious day with her. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Gwen got some glasses today. We put a little blurry patch over the eye that isn’t working right. We have been given some tips from some amazing people who have been through this DIPG fight before us. She seems to see better now since her bad eye isn’t fighting against her good eye. We ask her and she says she can see better. We ask her if it makes her eye feel better and she says yes. Of course she looks absolutely adorable in them. Please keep praying we find the perfect trial for her and we get her mobile again. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Gwen is back today. I have missed her a lot. Nothing makes me happier than just seeing her. She wanted to sleep in her bed in Uncle Judsen’s room so there’s a couple of pics of her hanging out with Uncle Judsen. (Her eye is really bothering her) Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

I present to you the most Perfect Princess Gwen! She just hung out today. We got some news we didn’t want today about a trial we were hoping so badly for her to qualify for. We’re still waiting on results for her biopsy. Please pray they are able to tell us the genetic make up of her tumor. Please keep praying for our perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕
