When she cried and said she’s scared that she will not make it made me hold my breathe in pain for her 😢
That’s when I started crying. I wanna give her the biggest hug. I hate seeing children cry especially over actual serious problems
hahahahahahahahahaha
it’s truly heartbreaking. they are definitely fighters and will get through this together. amen.🙏🏽
@@OregonCrowhow is that funny
@@itsssroro I just type two letters on my keyboard over n over again.
I just want to gather them up and hold them all. Terrible how fate plays out like this in life. Peace, love and healing to this family.
Hold them once you pay for their expenses
Truth in lying, Ikr! I was going to say the same thing. I couldn’t imagine what they have been through and the fear they live and have lived with.
God be with this family in these trying times! You are loved by all that read this! Give them lots of love & hugs!
@@lifeintornadoalley if you can afford it, feel free to donate to their cause. If I could afford it I would. I hope they have good health insurance. If this were to happen in my family with our coverage, the most i would pay for any of it for the entire family is 5k every year. That is my out of pocket maximum on a no co-insurance no deductible plan. With the right coverage, the worst medical situations don't also have to impact your finances. Money isn't always the fix, and empathy should never be negated. Have a great day.
@@truthinlying6894 What could solve this problem is reading scientific publications about what cancer is and how it is described in scientific medical articles. It's written that cancer cells are result of Global Hypomethylation and it requires to take a lot of different nutrients to correct it. Just look up online Methylation cycle diagram
The profits that Fox gets from people watching this video should be directly donated to this family
Why ?
Because Fox is a huge corporation and they’re getting tons of money for the views of this story. This sweet family could use the money to pay for their massive medical bills.
@@manifestmyfuture they are a news station, that’s what they and all the rest actually do. And why only fox?
@@The-real-CrackerZack I didn’t say only Fox. All I said was that if the news organization is earning a profit from posting this family’s ordeal on UA-cam, then all or at least some of their profits should be given to the family. Whose side are you on anyhow? Do you not vote for the little guy?
@@manifestmyfuture absolutely I’m for the little guy. Hell I r one. You need to reread what you said, clearly you said fox. You also don’t understand the money they make off a UA-cam post, plus the idea that any news station should give money to someone they report on is ridiculous. Most of the things they report on are sad and need money. Businesses are in business to make money. You are probably a genZ ero and want everything for free. When you get into the real world you will be shocked. Good luck.
Had a friend whos 2 kids had this. Found out bc son was injured in a bull riding accident. Both had stomachs removed Daughter had double mastectomy at 16 yrs old as well. They both live life to the fullest. May Jesus be with your family.
Shut the hell up with your Jesus bullshit. If it really existed, it would not have allowed this shit to hurt their family. Your little invisible Sky daddy does not exist. Get over that crap. You are far too old to have invisible friends.
🙏🏼
❤
With warm and gentle thoughts. Such bravery. My heart is shattered. I pray they have a complete comfortable life🎀🌸🎀
@@PayItForward21 No need to pray if you believe it’s always Gods plan
Poor baby. I have a daughter in 5th grade. I cant imagine her going through this horrible process. My thoughts and prayers for this family of heroes.
Me too
Poison in the food
@@migdaliarodriguez7745 It’s a hereditary gene!!
The word heroe just gets thrown around nowadays I see.
@@5cabron2 yes. These people are heroes. And please sit down when I tell you this. I’m going to give you news you won’t believe, but true. Spider man, Superman, Batman, etc, are not super heroes. You’re welcome 😉
Makes my problems seem so small... Y’all are robbing her of nothing. The ugly disease is robbing her, like it does so many. Y’all are trying to save her life. I’m so sorry this family is going through this terrible thing. I just want to hug them all.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ nobody likes you
Seriously was having a hard morning with my husband and toddler but this makes me appreciate life and health.
What a terrible curse for this family...they are so strong.
Thank you, Danny Thomas, for St. Jude Hospital.
I hate cancer, that awful disease, took my beautiful sister in law and then a year later took my mother in law. RIP Jenny and Marilyn, until we meet in heaven again 🙏
Ditto
Me too 😒
@@cathylanders6377 hopefully one day, we will have a cure
My condolences for your lost 🙏
@@sonidoexperiencia2800 it makes me happy knowing they are no longer in pain and will be spending eternity in heaven with Jesus 🙏
Darling Ava, you can live without a stomach but IT would be a worst world without you. 🙏🏻
Sending healing wishes to entire family. This too shall pass. "NEVER ALONE" is key.

TRY writing in ENGLISH!!!
@@traybern Ah, thanks for catching one word typo on the fly! Feel better now? My English is fine. Your petty optics not so much.
@@traybern why you do you have the need to be a jerk?
@@romeoelopez24 WHY do let DOPES who never learned ANYTHING after third grade make UA-cam Comments???
As a person with stomach issues since childhood, I cried for her. I wish her the best.
Same here!!! I have diverticulitis and now my large intestines removed. And it sucks.and the pain is unbearable.😢
❤❤❤
Me, too, and I wish them all the best, too.
Stomach pain is insanely hard to cope with. Thinking about you. With warm and gentle thoughts 🎀🌸🎀
Cancer took my own dads life when me and my brother were under the age of 10 so I will be praying for this family I miss you daddy
I didn’t know this genetic cancer existed. Thank you for sharing this video. Prayers for all of your family.
Looks like human DNA has been altered. That's what I think.
There is no genetic cancer, its like saying there is a genetic diabetes 2. In fact, its more a metabolic disease. Cancer only consumes glucose… guess what most American’s consume glucose 3-7 times a day!! How about cutting that back because 50 years ago cancers where rare… now everyone is obese and cancer and heart attacks are common, strange, maybe its the excess carbs and sugar?
Literally everything related to your health has a genetic cause. Not all have been detected though, and it will probably never be entirely understood.
Lots of cancers are genetic. Look into BRCA gene.
@@josephdahdouh2725Wrong. Environmental is a HUGE cause.
That child is far stronger than me… this story was well done but devastating.
Sad and they have a 3rd little baby. I hope she grows up to be fine and they all live a healthy, happy, and long life❤
I wonder if they had the youngest daughter genetically tested to see if she has the gene or not. If she does, they’ll need to go through that a 4th time most likely
Ava had the surgery in June 2023, and it went smoothly (even her doctor was amazed, according to the article I read). She started school on time in August and has adjusted to her new dietary routine (this is all from an 11/09/23 WVUE article by Meg Gatto).
Thank you
@@GojuGirl You're welcome 😊
I had my stomach removed too in 2014. I have gastroparesis and the surgeon's found cancer called Gastrointestinal stromal tumor which was malignant. Also known as Gist. My cancer was found very early. My pouch is the size of a half a cup. I also have a feeding tube. I've had a feeding tube since Jan 14,2014 but stomach was removed on October 22,2014. I hope this young girl will be able to heal and recover. She is precious and loved. She will feel so much better. The earlier the best. Don't wait. Get it done ASAP !!!
I really hope she sees your comment. I was a sickly kid and we didn’t know what I had. I felt so alone until I got a diagnosis 14 years after getting sick. About 10 years after my diagnosis I found a Facebook group for my disease. It would have changed my life if I had been given the opportunity to hear that life is not over just because my body is different. Hospitals and surgery are rough on youngsters.
If only she could find an online group with people like you she could relate to and help her know she’ll be okay that would help her feel more comfortable with things.
Isn’t it better to let her live with her stomach and see how it goes ? I would never let them take her stomach out
@@bigbird2240 it’s stomach cancer so she would die. They’re removing it so she’ll live. It’s a rare progressive type which means fast growing and deadly. How do you not understand that?
@@bigbird2240 no. This cancer spreads, and once it begins, it goes incredibly fast. Removing the stomach, while the cancer is contained, gets rid of all of the cells. Plus, at her age, she can adapt, much easier, and live a long, healthy, “new normal” life.
Spread would doom her to chemo, much more pain, and the mortality rate would be very high.
I have a friend who had her stomach removed, and she would be quite healthy if she’d stop drinking. Her alcohol abuse isn’t what caused her cancer (it’s also genetic), but it is what will kill her.
I live with a 3cc stomach, and have since 2002, from gastric bypass. Stomach removal, in different forms, have been done, successfully, for decades.
My Father’s family has CDH1 though it doesn’t manifest until age 70. My Dad sadly passed away in November 2021 at age 73. I also have the gene and opted not to have my stomach removed as it manifests later in life. There are families like this one, which is rare, where CDH1 manifests cancer in younger years, although this has to be the youngest I’ve seen. I’m a nurse and I have followed research around the globe. This family is welcome to reach out to me if need be. Stay brave and you made the right decision to remove your stomachs. Please reach out to me as I have extensive studies and access to ongoing research. ❤
you should reach out to them. contact the reporter if you can't find their contact info. the likelihood of them seeing a comment on youtube is pretty low.
Bless your soul and so very sorry for your loss. Praying for you, this family, and all those suffering with this.I hope you all can make contact and amazing things come of it.
God bless you, this family and all that suffer from this. I can’t even imagine what they all go thru.
You can probably send them a message if you donate to their go fund me - most people read the messages people post.
I was born with a skin thing, it slowly takes over more and more over time. Puberty was a big time, the hormones. It's why I won't have kids. Visually... it isn't so obvious but I know once I hit 30-35 ish kids or not... it's over for me. Whatever.
Wild though, to live with that weight every day, any kind of 'it is what it is,' situation.
My daughter had a liver transplant and she’s 11 now. This story really struck home, and I can see the love and bravery in that family. Wishing them strength and victory ❤
This woman has the strength of a true warrior. Watching and supporting her entire family through such a horrific situation, feeling so helpless but also having to be the back bone.... good lord shes incredible!!!
She is so brave to be able to talk about this at her age we all need to put this family on a statewide prayer list 7:06
prayers only assuage the guilt. imo, they aren't as helpful as actual treatment.
@@ThatOpalGuy Prayers aren't helpful at all.
Don, Christine, exactly..family support or at least good friends support, medical treatment does way more good than prayers.
@@ThatOpalGuythey “ aren’t helpful “to those who don’t believe, but those of us who serve an all loving, merciful , healing God, prayers are wanted because we’ve seen prayers work first hand. You don’t have to believe if you don’t want but don’t be sharing false information please. If you want Gods blessings and healings you need to be right with Jesus, right in your relationship with God and all will work out for His glory for you.
Wanna know an even cooler miracle? Those of us who believe, who pray without ceasing…. God hears our cries and will even heal and help the unbeliever… usually ends out with that person believing in God after seeing His miracles.
Prayers aren’t just “ prayers” they are literally a conversation with God.
Send Prayers and Love from 🇨🇦🙏❤️
As someone who was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease at the same age my heart goes out to her. Situations like this steal your childhood and it sucks. We have to deal with medical situations our whole lives because the older you get the worse your health gets.
Hope you're doing better...❤
Hey hope you're feeling a lot better! ❤
@ifloatupwards hey, read your comments and said you have a rare kidney disease diagnosed at an early age. I’m just curious what is it specifically.? I also have a kidney disease which I also inherited from my dad. It’s genetics. Thanks.
I’m so sorry I hope you are feeling better:)🥺❤️
May I suggest from this moment on,you determine to win over it and get healthier with age instead. You can do it but only if you decide ❤🎉
That poor baby girl. Prayers she came through okay and she is okay.
This poor baby. She and her family are so strong
🥺 I pray for this family. Can’t imagine what they are going through. So many of us crying or stressing about the littlest things possible. They are literally fighting for their lives. 🙏🏽
🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
Right, me stressing over an exam while they stress over their future. Also, sad part is that it would be really awful if they gave birth to kids who also get the gene, and would have to live without a stomach. I'd recommend such and many individuals who suffer from life altering inherited illnesses to seek out adoption, surrogacy, or such forms to have a kid in life that you call as your son or daughter. Other than that, I too am praying that the complications she'll face will be manageable and painless.
Speak for yourself. I've been fighting for my life for 10 years.
Prayers for the whole family. Complete healing. ❤
May God bless this family! I can't even imagine. I'll pray for you all!
i can sort of relate to her. i have rare esophageal disorder called achalasia. it’s one in a million kids and it all happened so fast. i’m only 14 and i was diagnosed when i was 13-12. i know God will lead me through this journey and i will be praying for this entire family❤️❤️
My older brother Matt has this too. He has dilations done. Thank you for sharing.
God bless you 🙏
WOW, she’s so precious and humble.
Extremely😔❤
Lords Please heal this family
PRAYERSNLUV TO THIS FAMILY 👼👼✝️✝️❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🌹🌹💝💝👑
Amen 🙏🏻
Amen.
Don't you think if there was an all powerful "Lord" that it would have, should have, not even allowed such a thing to happen to them in the first place and that you begging the all powerful "Lord" is hardly likely to make any difference whether or not it cares enough to do anything? This is the long way of saying there is no "Lord" to do anything for Ava or anyone else. These things are down to chance and nature and, of course and most importantly, the doctors. I hope she makes it but if she doesn't I hope you curse your "Lord" for not helping her when you believe it could. I will just put it down to bad luck for a beautiful and innocent little girl who did not deserve it. If I believed that a "Lord" had anything to do with it then I would not put it down to luck anymore, I would consider it a malevolent action of a despicable being.
@@alwa6954 That is a very narrow view of God and humanity. Your argument says there can't be a God because we experience suffering, pain, and loss. If there were a true loving God, life would be great, right? Or maybe, if suffering is allowable at all, how much? What is the cut off? Where do we draw the line? Who gets to draw that line? What pain are you willing to tolerate to allow for the existence of God?
You misunderstand God. You misunderstand people, and what they 'deserve'(?) Understanding the existence of God isn't about suffering, pain and loss, but the ability to come through pain and loss with greater understanding of our own fallibility, vulnerability as imperfect beings, so that we can have compassion, forgiveness and love for our neighbor; so we can support others in their times of need. To know God is to be able to arm yourself with that strength and protection against the trials of life.
This is heartbreaking. I pray those girls can live a full & healthy life. 🙏🏻
I just want to hug that baby 😢
Unimaginable, my prayer’s go out to this family.
St Jude’s is the best children’s hospital in the world. She will get the best possible care there. I have made monthly donations to them, as have many others, for over 30 years, because of children like this. It’s heartbreaking, but she will survive and become an absolutely incredible adult.
Thank you for helping kids with cancer
Thank you for helping. Because of people like you, Ava will have care. They say on their ads that the families will have free care at St. Jude.
Ugh this family deserves so much, I can't even imagine having cancer let alone having children and them then going through the same thing....
This is absolutely heartbreaking. What a beautiful family. MY heart and love goes out to them!
I just lost my sister to pancreatic cancer, I can't imagine 3 family members going through this , you are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 God Bless 🙏
Did she have any vaccines?
@@kittybeck151 no , no one in my family has gotten jabbed.
May God be with you in your time of need
@@kittybeck151 why is that the first thing you say? Rather than “I’m sorry for your loss” or “that must’ve been really hard”, you focus on being an embarrassing anti-vaxxer? God, you people have worms for brains
@@kittybeck151you are such a sad individual. i hope you get the help you need.
That sweet baby. She’s terrified, rightfully so. And mom, oh mom. Bless you. Like someone else said, just wanna hold them all. Angels wrap them in your wings and ease the pain and fear.
Beautiful family… raising strong women ❤
As a mama this made me shed a tear. I hope the best for all of them. What a sweet Angel.
Aww, poor girl is terrified. Prayers that all goes well. Many hugs to the whole family. ❤🤗
What a beautiful family. God bless that poor mama and please give her the strength she needs to help her family get through this.
I'm a mom of 3, my babes are 20, 12 and 10. 5th grade is hard enough without a life changing illness such as cancer. I'm wishing for the best outcome and speedy recovery from this family to yours, love from Oregon xoxo
It’s so sad how these things just happen and you can’t avoid it.
Praying for this sweet girl & her family. ❤🙏🏻
Praying for this family 🙏
I’m praying for that girl when she said that she’s scared she won’t make it and started crying I felt my heart ache 💔
Watching her cry just breaks me 😔
honestly, it’s really hurtful and sad
She’s so precious 💞
This family will definitely be in our family’s prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Poor baby. I just want to give her a hug. 😢💔
I hope this mom has a strong support system. As well the rest of the family😢😢
Sounds like a closeknit loving family. God please wrap your loving arms around this child.
My heart breaks for this poor child, and the entire family🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Sweet girl I wish you didn't have to endure this. If I could I would give you a great big hug. ❤ You're a warrior princess and you can do this. ❤
When they started crying I broke down in tears, I’m sending prayers to this family❤
Praying for Ava and your entire family. God Bless You.
Precious child. I wish I could hug her, and fix everything. Many prayers for this family.💝🙏
plz god 🙏 I beg you with all my heart. Please help please make this family cancer free😢 they’re good people we need good people in this world
I broke my leg when I was 18 months old, then spent the next year and a half going through multiple painful surgeries ending with amputation surgery just after my 3rd birthday.
It is hard as hell to go through something like this for the child, and it may be worse for the parents, but you can get through it to the other side.
Like my mom used to say, "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first."
Meaning, don't wait to enjoy life. Get what enjoyment you can out of life, even when there is a crisis.
I am sending healing energy to this beautiful family and for this strong 5th grader dealing with such a hard time. I am sending so much love. May you be blessed with bountiful health for the rest of your life.
Prayers for a fast and full recovery ❤️🩹,God bless you and your family
I wish you the best
Sending so much love to you and your family, sweet Ava! Praying for healing for you all.
Bless this family!❤️
Sending all my best wishes for you to heal and to be strong and to find a purpose to overcome this bump on your road. You’ll see there is a long life ahead of you.
Poor sweet girl
- she's a sweetheart, I hope things work out with her.
My two young nephews have had major, pre-emptive cancer surgery... my heart, & prayers are with this family. GOD be with you all, & bless you with healing, support, & the resources to get through this.
Breaks my heart to see this young girl cry 😢 I’ll be praying for her surgery to go perfectly🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its terrible for this family, it makes me realize my problems are nothing compared to this, the babies just crush my heart
Prayers up for your beautiful family, complete restoration of health and peace in your hearts❤
I am so extremely sorry that you have to go through this... You look like a brave warrior to me !!!
Oh man! Worse since she seen her dad and sister struggle through this and now it's her turn. Payers that she does well, prayers to the whole family.
Beautiful family. God bless all of you.
How awful. What a brave little girl and amazing family. Sending Ava and her family all the best and love from Australia 😓🥰

I was not ready for this video. The hurt in that little girls eyes crushed my soul.
Thousand of prayers for this family ❤ 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻🙏🏻💡❤️. My dad and sister went through the same.
Ava sweety...you're going to get through this....hold on to the Lord like an anchor......hugs to your mama as well.
Mom....you will continue to walk through each day.....He's with you and I'm praying for strength for all of you.
Keep looking up
Families like this deserve free health insurance. Why are we putting our neighbors through this kind of financial burden ontop of being sick? At least the kids surgery is covered by Saint Jude but still
Exactly! Seen so many pass away as children. We never do enough for our kids😢
All people deserve free health care. It should be a guarantee.
I totally agree!!!!
Ask the countries who has free health care how that is working
Key word its a research hospitail . They make money .
My prayers go out to this family and I hope everyone has a smooth recovery and they get answers!
My heart breaks for this family ❤
Not sure if it is the same gene abnormality but if interested, look up New Zealand singer Stan Walker. He has a great video of his and his family’s experience with genetic stomach cancer and had to have his stomach removed as well. Pretty amazing story. All my best to Ava and her family 🙏🏻❤️
Ava.... I have lit a çandle in your name today... Every morning it will be lit again... Sweet momma hugs to your momma... You are all in my prayers
I can't even begin to imagine what this family is going through. My prayers are with all of them and will be praying for Ava's surgery to be a success with hopefully no complications.
If she survives, she and her sister shouldn't have children because it's just passing down a death sentence. According to the dad, it's inherited. Very sad.😢
Oh man, I just send so much love. Wow...healing light to all...
Praying for Ava and her family as this journey continues 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's hard but you've done the right thing you,re whole family is so brave love from the uk
Awww sweet family. Praying for their strength, bravery, and healing! The mother is a ROCK!!! Omg.
