On September 17, Courtney was admitted to the hospital after doctors discovered a large mass on her brain. Today, September 18, she faces a 10-hour surgery to start her fight toward healing. Her parents, JoAnne and Danilo, and her older brother, Dylan, are by her side every step of the way. At just 7 years old, Courtney has already walked a long road of medical needs, all with a smile on her face. This latest development has been overwhelming for her and her loved ones, and while her family’s hearts are fully focused on Courtney, the practical day-to-day needs remain. I created this support page to help alleviate additional stressors and the financial burden of medical costs so her family can give her their 100% attention. Support in the form of prayers, gift cards, and monetary donations is more than helpful during this challenging journey. Monetary donations will go directly towards covering medical expenses, hospital costs, and overall support for their family while they take time away from work to be with Courtney. My hope is to lift some of the weight they are carrying to allow them to focus on Courtney’s healing and recovery. If you’re able to give, your generosity is truly appreciated. If a donation isn’t possible, we kindly ask for your prayers and to share this page for Courtney and her family. You can also write a heartfelt message at the bottom of this page for JoAnne to read to Courtney after surgery. My sister and her family are grateful for all the prayers and support as they navigate this time. Thank you for your kindness and thoughtful gestures during this time.
