On April 19th, 2010, a CT scan revealed a tumor in Amanda's brain.  After a successful surgery to remove the tumor on April 21, 2010, our little princess was officially diagnosed with a rare brain tumor; Embroyanal Tumor with Abundant Neuropil & True Rosettes (ETANTR). It is a recently recognized, rare tumor that affects children; the oldest is Zoe, a five year old girl from Texas.

About Amanda . . .
Amanda and her twin brother, Julian, were born on June 29, 2007. They were five days premature. Although their condition was delicate and they remained in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for a short period of time, they were resilient, strong, and have flourished without any complications.

Amanda is a cheerful, lively, sweet little girl who likes to dance, dress up, and play with her brother and all her cousins; Gaby, Victoria, Sabrina, Ella, Landy, Danny, Christopher, Jonathan, Christian, Adrian, Gabriel, Liah-Nicole, Jason and Danny. She is loved and sorely missed by all her friends and teachers at Kidworks USA.

Her story has touched countless people.  Our family asks for your prayers: prayers for Amanda's restored health, prayers for her parents to be able to approach each day with renewed faith and strength and for her medical team, that they be able to treat and eradicate this tumor that has turned this family's world upside down.

About The Parents . . .
Larry and Julie are Amanda's loving parents. They are very caring and devoted parents who are blessed with a very strong support system of extended family and close friends. Despite this devastating news, Larry and Julie are determined to ensure that Amanda maintain as much normalcy throughout her regimented treatment, and ask for your continued prayers for their daughter's recovery.  They are looking forward to seeing their daughter regain her health and continue to enjoy a joyful childhood, surrounded by her brother, extended family and friends.
