Summary
An Oakland girl, Xiomara Romero, just eight years old, is fighting a rare, aggressive brainstem glioma that’s left her with a grueling battle ahead — including chemo and daily meds — after surgery couldn’t fully remove the tumor. Her family’s world has flipped upside down: her mom’s left her job to care for her, they’re behind on rent and car payments, and they’re turning to a GoFundMe to raise $25,000 — already at $5,000 — to keep her treatment going. While Xiomara still dances and sings with joy, her family’s struggle is a heartbreaking reminder of how devastating childhood illness can be — medically and financially.
