Hope for Tayler Gailey

Tayler's story...

Tayler was diagnosed at age 2 in 2011 with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and given 59.4 gy of radiation to the brainstem and given 9 months to live.

Against all odds she is now 17, she is a beautiful, brave, and funny soul absolutely adored by her family. Aside from the effects of the radiation and the tumor  she has been stable and has lived disease free for the past 15 years. However, on her 17th birthday Tayler was diagnosed with another "bigger and deeper" glioblastoma (radiation induced) in her brain stem - after having had an MRI due to facial numbness. The only medical option the family have been given now is to do further radiation to try and subdue the tumour growth to give her more time but even with this done there are no curative treatment options only palliative care ones.

To get this news years on after such a fight in her early years to have her here - its traumatic and devastating to say the least. Her family is in shock and just trying to be there for Tayler and each other as best they can.

Hence why this 'Give a little' has been created on behalf of Tayler's family, with the hope of being able to provide them with some funds to be able to give Tayler access to therapies to enhance her quality of life - such as hyberbaric oxygen therapy and to be able to purchase or access equipment to help her with mobility and comfort.

Thankyou so much for any support you can give
