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 don’t have any pictures today but I wanted to post for a memory. I heard Gwen had her first occupational therapy today and I heard she did great. I am so amazed by the strength and courage this 5 year old has. She is truly my hero. I can’t even remember what my life was like before she was born. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Hey guys this is the perfect Gwen giving her thumbs up and a finger! 😅 I’m not sure what for we’re thinking maybe she knows she goes down to 1mg of her steroid 1 time a day. That’s one step closer to her being off of it. Her appetite has already been decreasing since we’ve been lowering it. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Gwen eating her favorite pizza, pepperoni pizza. Even though most of the time she has you pick the pepperonis off. 😅 In the last picture you will notice Supervisor Gwen is supervising real good to make sure her dad properly hangs the TV at just the right height and level. She will let us know later how he did at the job. I’m sure he will either get 2 thumbs up or 2 thumbs down. 😂 Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Today Gwen had her follow up MRI. She came back and had her lunch in sloth mode since she was still hung over from the anesthesia. She headed back home and the saddest episode of Bluey that always makes me cry was on when I sat down. I swear I hate it. Bingo says I have to go now, I’m a big girl. (No you don’t, you never have to go, stay here forever!) We did get some good news— Gwen’s tumor has shrunk which is what the radiation is supposed to do. It should continue to keep shrinking for 3 months from the date she finished radiation. Then she surprised me with a FaceTime call when she got home. ❤️ Please keep praying that her tumor keeps shrinking and that when she starts her trial her tumor will continue to shrink and disappear. Please continue to pray for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean. Please pray for a miracle. 💕💕💕

I didn’t get many photos today. I worked and then I just sat and stared at her. I haven’t been feeling too good. The weather, the pollen, the cold, the hot, the rain, the sun, and the worry and sadness. Maybe a combo of it all. When I get to see her with all her sass, and let me tell you the drama with her today was for real, I forget how bad I feel. We got several NEVA NEVA NEVAS from her today. A few tight closed eyes and slinging the head sideways. Like how could we even ask her that question and a couple of shhhs. We aren’t allowed to ask questions when her cartoons are on and I have a real problem singing the song to spidey and friends. 😂 I get the look shhhhed and the finger. Ugh it’s so catchy I’m trying to stop. I love every single moment I get with her, even if I am in trouble half the time. She fell asleep on the couch today because watching her shows is exhausting. Then the next pic is of her just hanging out in her bluey jammies her Aunt Keylee got her. Aunt Keylee, Gwen’s Mommy, and I have matching Bluey jammie bottoms. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Today was my birthday. 🥳 🎁🎉🎈🎂 I was blessed to get to spend it with Gwen. She greeted me happily this morning and told me Happy Birthday. 😊 She made me my favorite birthday cake German Chocolate. I feel very lucky to get a cake baked by the best little baker in the world. She hasn’t been baking much these days. I spent the day hanging out with her, Mariusz, Christan, and Blake. It was a good day. I feel blessed for every holiday I am given to spend with her. I’m thankful for every memory we get to make with Gwen. We had the best day spending time with family yesterday for Easter and a great day today just hanging out at home. If I can just get you to remember one thing…. Never take one moment for granted. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕💕

Gwen went Easter egg hunting 🐣🐰🐇 today at Gimmies and Grandpas. She did a great job and loved it. She wanted to hunt eggs twice. We are all blessed and thankful for Gwen. The memories we get to make with her. Being together to experience new things with her while learning to embrace the moments that make her the happiest. We are all struggling in our own way to deal with our new journey. We’re doing our best to love each other through it while trying to be as present as possible to enjoy what’s right in front of us. We’re all just doing our best. We’re loving our beautiful Princess Gwen our Little Bean with a broken heart and arms wide open. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕 (some days are harder than others)

Gwen made some muddy buddies today. I spent the time I wasn’t working just watching her. I lose track of time just looking at her and listening to her. She’s so happy most of the time and she’s funny. She takes this all so much better than me. She’s the most amazing person I have ever met. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess our Little Bean! 💕💕💕
