Eloweezus: Fighting with a Heart Full of Hope.574

Posted August 27, 2025

It’s been a summer of battles for Eloise, but this tiny warrior shows a courage that seems far beyond her two years. Known affectionately as “Eloweezus” to those who love her, she’s spent the past eight months fighting a diffuse astrocytoma, a brain tumor that has demanded every ounce of resilience her little body and spirit can muster.

Now, the journey takes another difficult turn. Tomorrow, Eloise will undergo surgery to have a G-tube placed, a procedure that will help ensure she gets the nutrition she needs while her treatments continue. It’s a big week, filled with medical appointments, scans, and tests—each one a step toward recovery, each one a reminder of the long road still ahead.

Yet, despite the weight of it all, Eloise is undaunted. Her laughter still lights up the room. Her curiosity, her stubbornness, her playful spirit—they’re all reminders that even in the toughest battles, life finds a way to shine through. She draws strength from the people and pets who love her unconditionally: her big brother, who never leaves her side; her two cats, quietly comforting her during long afternoons; and her loyal dog, Shy Shy, who watches over her like a gentle guardian.

For those who know her story, Eloise is more than a patient or a child in treatment—she is a symbol of resilience, a tiny force of nature teaching everyone around her what it truly means to fight, to hope, and to love fiercely. Each hug she gives, each grin she flashes, and every small victory along the way is a testament to the power of determination and the unwavering support of those who surround her.

As she faces this next step in her treatment, Eloise’s family asks for our thoughts, our prayers, and our positive energy. Though her path is uncertain and the challenges are great, she has already proven that courage comes in all sizes, and strength isn’t measured in age. It’s in the refusal to give up, in the ability to smile through the storm, and in the tiny hands that hold onto hope even when the world feels heavy.

Let’s surround Eloise—and her entire family—with love. Let’s remind them they are not alone. Every kind word, every prayer, every message of support is a reminder that this brave little fighter has a community rooting for her, standing beside her, and believing in her relentless spirit. The journey ahead may be long, but with love and strength, there is hope—and hope is powerful.
