Daliah Barnhart is a two-year-old with a contagious cackle who loves to dance. "I have by no means met a child as adoring or as lovable," says Daliah's mother Moriah Barnhart.
But earlier this year, this Tampa tot was identified with a violent form of brain cancer. After tragedy surgeries to eliminate the cancer and decrease difficulty on the brain, Daliah's mending is just opening with numerous rounds of chemo. She'll be suitable for emission when she turns three.
"A good day for us is a disgusting day for most people," said Barnhart. "Her pain, and her nausea and hearing her cry, there are just no words to describe." That's why last month Daliah's mom in progress researching unconventional, currently illegal alternate treatment-- medical marijuana.
"It's a plant that cures," says Barnhart. "I want doctors to be able to take that plant and use it to promote my daughter." Barnhart admits even she dismissed the idea at first.
"There is probably nothing anyone could have said or done four-and-a-half months ago, to convince me. That's why I made a video [about our experience] because if you question where I'm at now, please seeing where I've been.
Barnhart knows marijuana isn't a cure, but does believe it could reduce side effects: the seizures, extreme pain and nausea. She's taking her case to lawmakers on Facebook and YouTube in hopes of changing federal laws allowing for research into benefits she believes could help Daliah live.
"I want my daughter to wake up and remember what it's like to want to be here," said Barnhart. "She's 2 years old. She should wake up every day excited that she's alive." Moriah Barnhart has created a petition on the White House website hoping to convince the President to take potential action.
