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.

Hi guys, Gwen hasn’t been having to use her glasses since the day after she started her trial. We will keep praying because this is kind of a miracle in itself. This is a side effect that doesn’t usually correct itself. We will take it! This is a picture of a chip that Gwen said looks like a heart ❤️ and she told her mom to send it to me because she knows hearts are my favorite thing! Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

My favorite HELLO G. Gwen told me I can come see her and I can have one of her chocolate chip waffles. She just wanted to wear her glasses on her head today. She’s just hanging out with mom and dad. She told me when the baby comes we have to go to the fridge and get it milk and milk comes from cows MOOOO. 😂 She is going to be the best big sister ever! Please keep praying for our perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Gwen painted me a Bluey and Bingo night light. She said I should put it in my bedroom. She said I won’t have anymore bad dreams. (I can only hope but it was the sweetest thing ever so I put it in my bedroom). Then I was taking some pics of her and her mom and dad on the couch and she was laughing and telling her dad NEVA, then she saw me videoing her and she stuck her tongue out at me. 😂 Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Today Gwen had an EKG done and everything looked good. She goes back on Thursday for another one. Today was also a very special day for Gwen, it was her Mommy’s birthday. So of course she had to bake mom a cake. A chocolate cake with chocolate icing, iced professionally by Gwen. You won’t find this in the stores. 💕 Everyone please wish Christan, Gwen’s mom, a happy birthday 🎂🥳🎉🎁 and please keep praying for our Perfect Princess our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

Gwen made it here today. She was very happy. She let me take a pic of her for everyone. She was in a good mood— happy to be here, happy to watch Bluey. She wanted her McDonalds. We are also making a chocolate cake tomorrow because tomorrow is her Mommy’s birthday. She told me that tonight (as if I was unaware of when her Mommy’s birthday was) 😂 (I’m pretty sure I was present for Christan’s birth). I wish everyone could learn from Gwen. She is always in such a good mood. She’s facing something worse than most of us will ever face yet she still puts on a happy face every day! If I cough she says are you ok G? She’s fighting far worse battles than my cough. But she is still concerned with everyone around her. She has a heart of gold! 💛 Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕

I got a happy surprise. A wonderful FaceTime call from Gwen. She told me about what she ate today, what she did today, what she was watching on TV, and about her baby brother that is coming in May. She’s coming here tomorrow to get ready for a Dr. Appt on Tuesday. She said she is happy to see me. I can’t wait to see her. Please keep praying for our Perfect Princess Gwen our Little Bean! 💕💕💕
