Evan, a fourth grade boy, was diagnosed with Medulloblasttoma. This is a type of malignant brain tumor. He had surgery this past summer to remove the tumor and is currently receiving chemotherapy and radiation treatments. This regimen is at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For Evan to receive treatment, the family must drive almost 3 hours and stay for the week; treatments are five days a week. After the initial six weeks of treatments, Even will need to go to Grand Rapids one time a week for the next year and a half for additional treatments. Some of those treatments could take days and would require him to be hospitalized again.



During the family's last trip to Grand Rapids, a deer ran into the side of the car on US131. This accident caused a great deal of damage to the vehicle and it is no longer able to transport Even to his treatments. The family currently does not have the financial ability to get another vehicle and is using a family member's car to get Even to his treatments.



This is diagnosis has has affected has Evan's family both emotionally and financially.

Thank you in advance for your support of this brave little boy.
