#PrayForDominic: Community Rallies Behind Boy With Rare Diagnosis

DOYLESTOWN, PA -- If you've seen the #PrayForDominic signs around town, here's what they mean: your community is rallying around a young boy and his family who have been dealt a devastating blow.

Dominic Liples, 7, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor this month and has begun both radiation and chemotherapy.

Meanwhile, the Doylestown community is doing what it can to get behind Dominic's family, who unfortunately are no strangers to hospitals. Dominic's younger brother has Spina Bifida.

Dominic's mother, Kira, has been active in fundraising for Spina Bifida and now the local community is stepping up to help her family in their time of need.

This Friday, March 25, an all-faiths prayer service will be held on all four corners of State Street and Main Street. Attendees will pray for Dominic, as well as all others from the community in need, according to an announcement from Discover Doylestown.

"This all faiths service will be a testament to how Doylestown is rallying together to show love for one of its locals," according to a press release from Discover Doylestown.

The event is being held in coordination with the family’s church, as well as the owner of Doylestown business Lily’s of the Field, Jona Franklin.

A fundraising page has been setup for Dominic and his family through the non-profit charity Homers for Hope at: www.tinyurl.com/prayfordominic.
