Welcome to Laken’s Legacy. 💜
This page is created to share the journey of one incredibly brave girl, Laken, as she fights DIPG. Through this page, we hope to keep family, friends, and supporters updated with medical updates, milestones, prayer requests, special moments, fundraisers, and ways to support Laken and her family throughout this journey.
Laken is strong, joyful, faithful, and deeply loved by so many people. While this road is difficult and filled with uncertainty, we are choosing to surround her with love, prayer, positivity, and support every single step of the way. We believe no family should walk through something like this alone, and this page will help keep everyone connected as we continue fighting alongside her.
This page is lovingly and carefully run by close friends on behalf of Erin and Ben to help share updates and support their family during this time.
We ask that you continue lifting Laken and her family up in prayer for strength on hard days, peace during the unknown, comfort, healing, and moments of joy in between. Every prayer, message, share, donation, and act of kindness truly means more than words can say.
For those asking how to help, donation information for Erin will be listed below:
Cash App: $EVSmith1983

Once the family is settled, we will also share a mailing address for anyone wanting to send cards, care packages, gifts, or happy mail for Laken.
Thank you for loving this sweet girl, supporting this family, and being part of Laken’s Legacy.
