💛🎗️ Our hearts are breaking for our beautiful Wilms Tumor warrior, Luciana, and her family.

For the fourth time, Luciana and her family are facing news that no child or parent should ever have to hear. After bravely battling cancer three times, Luciana has once again relapsed, with cancer now returning in her pelvis.

There are simply no words to describe the heartbreak of watching a child endure this battle over and over again. Yet, through it all, Luciana continues to show the world what true courage, strength, and resilience look like.

Four battles. One incredibly fierce little warrior. 💛

Luciana, you have already overcome more than most people will face in a lifetime. You are brave beyond words, stronger than you know, and surrounded by an army of people who love you and believe in you. We will stand beside you and your family every step of the way.

Right now, Luciana’s family is seeking second and third opinions from different medical institutions as they work toward determining the best treatment plan. Once a plan is established, we will share specific ways our community can help support the family’s practical needs. You all showed up last time when she wanted an entire room makeover before going into stem cell transplant- and it was perfect! But at this time, gifts and toys are not needed. The most needed are gas and food cards right now. Please indiciate “for Luciana” in you donation on our website (link in our bio).

Please join The Ashley Lauren Foundation in surrounding Luciana and her family with love, prayers, strength, and hope as they prepare to face this battle once again.

Luciana, your fight is our fight. You are never alone. 💛🎗️ by @ashleylaurenfoundation

Thank you to everyone that contributed to Jackson’s chairlift! You all did it!

It’s because of the combined donations of everyone, we were able to afford the special chair lift and installation needed for Jackson to be more mobile. Thank you thank you thank you.

He’s beyond thrilled and so is his family! 🎗️ it’s the simple things in life (like going upstairs to downstairs) we take for granted, especially when living with cancer. by @ashleylaurenfoundation

Please keep liver cancer warrior, Guilia and her family in your prayers. Update from her dad is that she has been put on hospice care over a week ago as doctors have exhausted all of their treatment options. They are spending as much precious time with her and creating the most memories. In the coming days, if they will need our help for any reason, we hope that our community will come together rally around them to support whatever they need as this is unfathomable for anyone to endure. For tonight, please say a prayer for Guilia girl🙏 by @ashleylaurenfoundation

Listen to Mason's amazingly strong parents, Ryan and Kristina talk about their journey with Mason, and how we were able to assist during that time.

In honor of Mason’s life and heavenly birthday, family, friends, and supporters are invited to lace up their sneakers for a 2-mile fun run & walk benefiting The Ashley Lauren Foundation, which provides hope, help, and support to children battling cancer and their families throughout New Jersey.
