The Savorgnan family are currently experiencing one of the toughest and most unthinkable situations a family can face with their young daughter recently diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Maria, Marty and their beautiful two-year-old daughter, Elenna, have flown from Townsville to Brisbane earlier this week after scans revealed a tumour on Elenna’s brain.
Additional scans have now shown the tumour has spread throughout Elenna's brain, and spinal cord, and the family is now awaiting emergency surgery and treatment.
With the rapid pace of Elenna’s diagnosis paired with the sudden travel and shock, numerous tests and treatments are still needing to occur. The uncertainty surrounding the entire battle ahead additionally leaves the family unaware of how long they will need to remain in Brisbane for.
Expecting their second child this month, the young Home Hill family have been hit with a whirlwind of emotions, expenses, and concerns, however numerous members of the local Burdekin community have provided the family with unwavering support, and a beacon of hope.
Earlier this week, Ashley De-Campo established a Go Fund Me fundraiser for the Savorgnan family to support Maria, Marty and little Elenna during this time.
“If you have the pleasure of knowing Elenna’s parent’s, Maria and Marty, you will know that they’re selfless, supportive, hardworking and kind-hearted people,” shared Ashley.
“Elenna is the absolute light of their life and as any parents could imagine, their whole world has been turned upside down with this news.”
The Go Fund Me page was created with the consent of the Savorgnan family to support them with the financial stressors that come with an event so life changing.
The Burdekin and surrounding community have supported Ashley’s efforts amazingly, with widespread donations now totalling far more than double the initial fundraising goal.
“It is unknown how long Elenna will be receiving treatment in hospital for - they are taking each day as it comes,” added Ashley.
“We kindly ask that their privacy be respected at this time - we truly appreciate everyone who has supported the Go Fund Me and Savorgnan family.”
The fundraising page has attracted over 200 donations and messages of support, with over $20,000 raised for the family.
