Standing With Brilee Mae Kirk in Her Fight Against Neuroblastoma

This past fall this sweet family experienced unimaginable heartbreak when they lost baby Brielle at just two weeks old. No family should ever have to endure that kind of pain.

Now, they are facing another devastating challenge.

In February, 3 year old Brilee was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer. Their world has once again been turned upside down.

As they begin this difficult journey of treatments, hospital stays, and countless appointments, their focus needs to be completely on Brilee — on loving her, comforting her, and fighting alongside her every single day.

With God’s grace and excellent medical care, we are praying boldly for complete healing. We believe in miracles. We believe in strength beyond understanding. But we also know this will be a long and difficult battle.

The financial burden of cancer treatment is overwhelming. Funds raised will help with:

Medical expenses and treatments

Travel to and from hospitals

Lodging during extended stays

Meals and daily living expenses

Time away from work to care for Brilee

After already walking through deep loss, this family now faces another mountain. Let’s surround them with support, prayer, and generosity.

If you are able to give, no amount is too small. Every donation makes a difference. If you’re unable to give financially, please share this fundraiser and keep Brilee and her family lifted in prayer.

Let’s stand together in faith, hope, and love as Brilee begins this fight.

“Lord, be their strength, their peace, and their healer.”

Event details and schedule

This will be a family friend run or walk! we are just here to raise money for this family and sweet little Brilee! Every penny we raise goes to them! This event will be held on the ACS campus! Please join us At 9 am on the ACS campus!
