Family friends Brenda Kelly and Scott Bowden and family member Amanda Boston-Davis, with the help of Stephanie Hastings Valdivia and Kim Widgeon, are leading two fundraisers to benefit Kylie Boston, an eighth-grade student at Stephen Decatur Middle School who was diagnosed with a form of brain cancer called medulloblastoma nearly two months ago.
Doctors discovered the tumor after a routine eye exam the day before Boston’s birthday, according to Kelly. Two days later, she underwent an operation at Johns Hopkins Hospital to remove the mass, located on her brain and the brain stem.
“For something to happen to a kid like this is shocking,” Kelly said, adding that Boston was active in Pop Warner cheerleading, Berlin Little League Softball and more.

This is a sad state of our healthcare system if families have to have fundraising events to pay for their kids surgery. The last thing her parents should be worried about is paying for medical bills while their little girl is recovering. Obamacare or not; it should not be like this. Our country is better than this.
My prayers go out to the Boston family. May God give you the strength to get through this and give you a positive outcome.
