Unimaginable to go through this again with your second baby. If anyone is able to donate, it would go directly to the families PayPal account. They do not have a GoFundMe set up. The PayPal tag is . Every dollar counts, please help sweet little Hazel. ❤️

I can't believe I am here again.

Unfortunately, I have devastating information to share with you all. Our newest little baby, Hazel, has cancer. They are 90% sure it is Neuroblastoma, the same cancer that Elijah had. Here is what we do know based on the MRI: Her disease is much more widespread than Elijahs was at diagnosis. It is in her lungs, both kidneys, liver, skull (thats pressing on her brain and cutting off some bloodflow of major arteries), hips, eye orbits (it is pushing her eyeball out, making it buldge) etc. They used the term "everywhere". She has a blood clot in her brain that is dangerous. Right now it is not occluding anything, but we need prayers for this specifically. Please pray the clot would dissolve on its own without causing damage of any sort. I spoke with Elijahs doctor just a few mins ago, and he said that given her LDH blood count, she is likely in the high-risk category because she likely will have the MCYN amplification. We wont know until the rest of the testing comes back.

Elijah did not have the amplification. Neuroblastoma is a whole other beast when it is amplified. :-( With that, we are already forming a course of action and will hit the go button once we receive the confirmation of disease.

You all stuck by us during our 5 year journey with Elijah. I know you'll be praying for our Sweet Hazel. I cannot believe that we are here again. Thrown into the midst of chaos. Please also pray for Hazels pain. She is having alot of pain in her eye, and brain, causing her to vomit often. Pray that she keeps eating, and that the disease slows its processes we know its growing quickly.

My mama heart is hurting so badly for my sweet girl and for my other children who are now, once again, sat on the backburner. I could not have ever imagined this would happen AGAIN. Elijahs cancer tested negative for any hereditary genes. :-(

We need ALL the prayers. I will update more when I receive further information. But, as of now This is Elijah's & Hazels Big Journey. :-(

She did it. She’s a high school graduate. It honestly seems like just yesterday she was sitting out front with her little table and lemonade jug. All her work was recognized with a Spirit and Service Award by her principal. She also gave a yearbook dedication speech for Jesse Heikkila who should have graduated with the 2024 class. Ella presented a yearbook and tassle to his family, it was really a special night for everyone. ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone that stopped by Sip and Stroll: on Sunday. It was a very successful day, with a lot of friends and new faces. We had several people share personal stories of loss and of survival and we are thankful for those who want to share their stories with us…this is why we do what we do. A special thank you to those who made it a point to stop by just to give a donation, we appreciate all of you! Ella has been doing this since the age of 6 and most of the people we saw have been coming for lemonade since her first day at the farmers market. 🍋🎗️

10 Years ago today, I was told my best friend would not be coming home. 💔
Ella’s Lemonade Shop was started when I learned that Hailey was diagnosed with DIPG, a inoperable brain tumor. Ten years later, I am still working to raise funds and awareness in memory of Hailey, Jesse and all kids that continue their fight against childhood cancer.

I love and miss you Hailey. Strawberry Lemonade & Dragonflies forever.

We’ve been seeing a lot of kids out selling lemonade this summer and we love it! It has us reminiscing about Ella’s lemonade days. It’s been a while since we’ve been able to attend an event, but next month we will be back! We will be at Sip & Stroll to raise money for Ryan Finlay and his family. Ryan has recently been diagnosed with B Cell Carcinoma. All funds raised will be donated directly to the Finlay family. We hope to see you there!
