Her prognosis is grim and her family is having to come to terms with possibly not seeing their beautiful little girl grow up.
A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help her parents Kathie and Adam focus on their three-year-old's treatment and comfort without the added stress of working and paying bills. It has raised close to $80,000.
The good folk at MIX 106.3 are wanting to make their contribution and have settled on the idea of coordinating the construction of a dream princess playground for little Annabelle at her home in Evatt.
The idea is to build the playground next week while Annabelle is in Sydney receiving radiation therapy.
So the team needs tradies, resources, material, creativity and time from Canberra's generous community.
The MIX breakfast team, Kristen and Rod, will be taking calls all morning from anyone who can help on 62421063. or you can register at MIX106.com.au
Family spokesman, Annabelle's uncle Anthony Griffiths, said the contributions from the community had already been overwhelming.
"It's just incredible," he said. "She is going to go nuts. I want to be there to see her reaction but at the same time I know I'm going to break down."
Mr Griffiths said Annabelle loved princesses, especially the Disney princesses.
"Really, what this is about is making sure that whatever time we have left with her is of the best quality," he said.
"The sad fact is right here, right now, there is no cure for this kind of tumour and we want to make every day count."
The build is set to run from next Monday to Friday so it can be completed when Annabelle returns home at the end of next week.
