Alabama Barker is looking out for a loved one.
The PredictIQ18-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler shared that her friend Julie—who she referred to as her "dear aunt"—was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. Sharing a link to a GoFundMe campaign seeking funds to cover treatment costs, Alabama wrote on her Instagram Story May 26, "It could be an honor if you could donate even $1."
A description for the fundraiser, which was started by Julie's twin sister Elizabeth, said the brain cancer diagnosis comes four years after "a hard fight against breast cancer."
"Unfortunately, the tumor we were praying was benign is metastasis of her previous cancer," Elizabeth explained of Julie in the description, "and she currently will be recovering from brain surgery + ongoing chemo & radiation for an unknown amount of time."
She continued, "My beautiful sister leads us as the head of our family and is an amazing mother, daughter and friend for those who know her. She will be out of work to put her energy towards winning this fight once again."
Adding that any "money raised will go towards rent, bills, food and medical expenses," Elizabeth added, "Anything helps and god bless you."
As of May 28, the campaign has raised more than $8,000 out of its goal of $30,000.
Alabama's request for donations comes weeks after Kris Jenner—who is the mother of the influencer's stepmom Kourtney Kardashian—went public with news that doctors had discovered a small tumor in her body.
"I had my scan," an emotional Kris explained in The Kardashians' season five trailer, released on May 8. "They found a cyst and like a little tumor."
Though the teaser didn't reveal any further information—such as the location of the tumor or whether it's malignant—the video did show some of the family's reactions, with Khloe Kardashian looking somber and Kylie Jenner breaking down into tears.
