Ayla Grace Slivka is a sweet, silly, funny, creative, science-loving, game-loving, beautiful child who is strong and fierce. She brings joy and laughter to so many lives.  On July 6, 2021, Ayla was diangosed with a rare form of brain cancer known as DIPG.  This form of brain cancer affects about 300 children annually in the USA.  There is currently no effective treatments to cure this terrible disease that steals so many beautiful children.  DIPG is rare, so research grants and funding to find a cure have been limited.  The Slivka Family is on a mission to change this! Please consider donating to help fund research to find a cure for DIPG.  The Cure Starts Now!

1 in 330 children in the U.S. will develop cancer by age 20.

On the average, 15,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.

Cancer is the #1 killer of children by disease in the United States, yet it remains one of the most underfunded diseases in the world.
