[Fredslist] Fw: Housing in NYC for Child and Family

[Rona Gura]

To My Gotham Family-
The writer of the email below is one of my closest and dearest friends, Melanie. She is family to me. 
Her very close friend's 8 year daughter was diagnosed with a  Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a type of cancerous brain tumor. Briana’s DMG is a grade 4, which is the most aggressive type. 
She will be receiving 6 weeks of targeted radiation at the New York Proton Center affiliated with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The family lives in Florida so they will need housing here. They are on the waiting list for the Ronald McDonald house but have been told that, currently they have no options for them.
Much of the treatment is out of network so their financial resources are limited. If anyone knows of any resources for this family with respect to the housing issue please contact Melanie directly, she is cc'd on this email.
Thank you!!

  Briana is 8 years old and within the past several weeks, has been diagnosed with a Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a type of cancerous brain tumor. Briana’s DMG is a grade 4, which is the most aggressive type.

Briana lives in FL with her mom but was spending part of her summer vacation with her dad in NY. While away from home, Briana started experiencing a facial droop and some weakness, which lead her family to bring her to the hospital. On 7/28, her family received the news no parent should ever have to hear; MRIs showed a 4cm mass near her brain stem. On 7/30 Briana underwent emergency brain surgery at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital to remove as much of the tumor as possible, which was about 50%.
On 8/11 she was discharged to St. Charles Rehabilitation where she will stay for at least 2 weeks, working on occupational and physical therapy to strengthen deficits following the surgery. The next course of action is 6+ weeks of radiation starting 9/5 at the New York Proton Center affiliated with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to shrink the remaining tumor. At this time, the prognosis is unclear, but we are hoping for the best.
