In a GoFundMe post that has gone viral, it said that the parents of the young girl, Rayne, had their world turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just four years old.

DMG is an aggressive, rare, and fast-growing cancerous brain tumor that forms in the central, "midline" areas of the brain and spinal cord".
In a heartbreaking Facebook post, Rayne's auntie said: "only two weeks ago she was a perfectly happy, healthy little girl — laughing, playing, and filling every room with joy. Then our world was shattered....".
