Gracie Smith is a darling and active 2 1/2 year old little girl based out of Forest Grove, OR. Her parents had first noticed a “glow” in her right eye as well as the eye beginning to stray to the right. After taking her in to the doctor to be checked, that is when they came to find out that this sweet girl had a rare cancer called Retinoblastoma. Soon after her diagnosis, she and her mother flew to Philadelphia where she went through surgery to remove her eye which contained ten tumors.

Today, Gracie has her “magic eye”, which is her prosthetic eye. She cannot see out of her “magic eye”, but her mother, Elly, said that this whole situation has not affected Gracie and she is quite the fighter.

Let’s rally together to create an incredible gift to Gracie, her siblings and the other children at Doernbechers oncology clinic that are fighting cancer daily.

Gracie is currently finishing her last treatments of chemotherapy as well as attending multiple visit to the hospital each week to receive vitamin supplements. These appointments financially add up for their family. If you are able to, there is a GoFundMe account for Gracie to help offset these costs. The link is listed at the bottom of this document.
