GoFundMe Created for Clarkstown 2-Year-Old Courageously Battling Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) – a Rare Pediatric Brain Cancer

GoFundMe reads – In the face of unimaginable odds, we come to you with heavy hearts and a plea for support. Our dear friends Tori & Rob are navigating a heartbreaking journey as their beautiful 2-year-old daughter, Lily, courageously battles Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). The gravity of this rare and aggressive pediatric brain cancer was compounded by the devastating news that Lily has been given just 6-9 months to live.

Yet, in the midst of this painful reality, Lily continues to defy expectations with a spirit that shines brighter than the darkest prognosis. Her laughter, resilience, and boundless love have become a beacon of hope for everyone touched by her story.

We are reaching out to you today to ask for your support in the most challenging fight of Lily’s young life. The financial burden of medical treatments, experimental therapies, and end-of-life care is overwhelming for Tori & Rob. We have created a GoFundMe campaign to alleviate this burden and ensure that Lily receives the best possible care during her remaining time with us.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact on Lily’s quality of life, enabling Tori & Rob to focus on creating lasting memories and providing comfort for their precious daughter. Additionally, we ask that you share this campaign with your network, helping us reach compassionate hearts who may be willing to join us in this fight.
Let us rally together to show Lily, Tori, Rob & Danny, and all those affected by DIPG that they are not alone. Your generosity and kindness will make a meaningful difference during this incredibly challenging time.
Thank you for opening your hearts to Lily’s story and for standing with us as we fight against DIPG, refusing to accept its grim prognosis.
With heartfelt gratitude,

Brittany Massaro Farkas

Lafayette Theatre Packs October With Movies, Halloween Events and Local Premiere

Published

on

October will be a busy month at the Lafayette Theatre, with the historic Suffern movie house offering a lineup that ranges from highly anticipated new films and local filmmaking to family Halloween favorites and cult classics.

And with tickets priced at $10 or less, the theater is making it possible for moviegoers to take in several of the month’s events without breaking the bank.

Among the highlights is the October 8 homecoming premiere of Concessions, a film shot at the Lafayette Theatre with the participation of local Rockland County extras. The premiere will feature a live question-and-answer session with the film’s director and cast. Additional screenings are planned for October 16–18.

The October schedule also includes Verity, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel and starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. The mystery-thriller centers on a writer who discovers a series of disturbing secrets while working on an unfinished manuscript.

Moviegoers can also see Digger, starring Tom Cruise, a film that has already attracted attention as awards season approaches.

Halloween will bring several special screenings to the Lafayette.

The Addams Family will screen October 31 and November 1, giving families a chance to celebrate the holiday with the famously creepy and kooky Addams clan.

Horror fans can also experience A Nightmare on Elm Street on the big screen. The 1984 classic helped establish Freddy Krueger as one of horror’s most recognizable villains.

For those looking for a more interactive Halloween experience, The Rocky Horror Picture Show returns October 31. Doors open at 8 p.m., with the film beginning at 9 p.m.

The Apoca-Lips Shadow Cast will return for the screening, featuring a preshow, audience participation and costumes. Prop bags will also be available.

With a combination of new releases, classic films, local talent and Halloween traditions, the October schedule offers something for movie fans of all ages — while continuing the Lafayette Theatre’s role as a gathering place for the local community.

Tickets are on sale now.
