YOU CAN HELP: Lily’s fight (GoFundMe)

Lily, who turns 6 in two weeks, is “smart, funny, and loves life,” her parents wrote on the GoFundMe page. “She is an animal lover…chihuahuas, unicorns, owls, monkeys, and even worms. She loves taking photos, making videos, dancing, and doing silly impressions.

“Lily is always ready to show you a new trick, tell you a joke, and sing you a song,” the page says. “You are guaranteed a good laugh and big smile.”

Whatever is raised will be used for expenses associated with medical care and travel for treatments — and for any needs or wishes that Lily has.

If you can find a place in your heart for an angel who likely won’t see Christmas, it would be appreciated.
