My daughter Kristina is beautiful and smart. She has a son, Dominick, who is 16 years old and has had brain operations since he has been born. With sever medical problems, he has to be taken to bathroom, changed, Dominick can never be left alone.

About five years ago, Kristina started having bad headaches. After aq trip with the ER with her older sister Renee, it was found that Kristina needed surgery for a large brain tumor. At the time, Kristina was in school to become a nurse. Her life changed with only one day.

As her family, we rushed to make plans of how we would take care of her and her three children.

It’s been years, and as her family we have found ways to support her and her children. But we just found out the tumor has started to grow back. She does not want to have another brain surgery.

Kristina continues to be a miracle, with all of her health problems, headaches, support for her children – and has even turned to homeschooling during this pandemic.

We are very Proud of Kristina, love her and hope she never has to go through another brain surgery.
