A local pizza restaurant is stepping up to help a young girl and her family as they continue a difficult journey through childhood cancer.
On Monday, September 21, Jumbo Pizza will donate a portion of the restaurant’s sales to help Livia’s family with expenses that are not covered through her medical treatment.
The restaurant says Livia’s story touched them, and they wanted to find a way to help.
The idea is simple: stop by Jumbo Pizza on Monday, grab a pizza or a meal, and a portion of those sales will go toward helping Livia and her family.
It’s a small way for the community to come together and make a difference for a family facing an enormous challenge.
Livia’s Story
Livia was just 18 months old when her family learned she had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of bladder cancer on June 26, 2025.
Now two years old, Livia has already spent much of her young life fighting cancer.
Her treatment has included months of chemotherapy, 33 radiation treatments and surgery. Along the way, she has faced countless hospital visits and stays, painful procedures, repeated infections and complications involving her kidneys.
While many of the treatments themselves are covered, a serious childhood illness brings a long list of additional expenses that can quickly become overwhelming for a family.
Medical supplies and medications are only part of the picture. There can also be costs for specialized equipment, transportation to medical appointments and hospitals, parking, gas, meals during long hospital stays and other everyday necessities that come with caring for a seriously ill child.
Those expenses can continue to build throughout treatment, adding another layer of stress to an already incredibly difficult situation.
And through it all, Livia continues to show an incredible strength that has touched the people around her.
A Community Coming Together
For Jumbo Pizza, Monday’s fundraiser is about more than selling pizzas.
The restaurant says it was touched by Livia’s story and wanted to do something practical to help the family through this difficult time.
By donating a portion of Monday’s sales, Jumbo Pizza is giving customers a chance to enjoy a meal while also supporting Livia’s journey.
Whether it’s a pizza for dinner, lunch for the family or an order shared with friends, every purchase on Monday, September 21 will help contribute to expenses that aren’t covered by Livia’s medical care.
It’s also a reminder that community support can take many forms. Sometimes it’s a fundraiser, sometimes it’s a donation, and sometimes it’s simply showing up and supporting a local business that is doing its part to help a family in need.

Stop by Jumbo Pizza on Monday, September 21. A portion of the restaurant’s sales will be donated to help Livia’s family with expenses not covered through her treatment.
