Erika from Westmeath suffers from cancer in her pelvis.
Efforts are underway to get a sick Westmeath girl to America for lifesaving treatment.
5 year old Erika from Mullingar is a fighter - she was born prematurely at 31 weeks and needed a shunt inserted in her brain.
She's since battled Swine Flu, pneumonia and blockages in her brain, but is now suffering from cancer in her pelvis.
She's currently undergoing five days of chemo every three weeks in Crumlin Hospital to reduce the tumour, but requires treatment in the US to fully remove it.
Darina Golden is helping to fundraise for the family and says they're determined to get Erika to America:
