This is Alijah, a third grader at Merchantville School who was diagnosed with diffused midline glioma – a malignant inoperable brain tumor. Alijah’s mom, Galaxy, shared on his GoFundMe page that their journey began on May 22nd when he woke up very lethargic, was rushed to Cooper Hospital where a CAT scan identified a tumor then was immediately sent to C.H.O.P. Since arriving at CHOP Alijah has had three brain surgeries, completed his radiation and will start chemotherapy soon. Alijah’s life was pretty normal before this and like most 8 year olds he loves legos and is a true gamer! Before all of this Galaxy was just like many women today, a single mom working full time and taking care of her two beautiful kids. Now she finds herself on an unpaid LOA from her job so she can be Alijah’s full time care giver. Any and all help to her fundraiser is welcome – prayer’s included! They thank you from the bottom of their hearts.
