I would like to begin my blog by sharing the story of a very special student. Haven Belle Anderson started attending our Preschool as an infant. Before she was 2, she began to feel ill and was diagnosed with stage four Neuroblastoma. Haven is an inspiration and a fighter.Now three years old, she has endured multiple rounds of Chemo, radiation, drug trials and procedures in an effort to kick cancer's booty. So far she is doing an awesome job at it. Haven fights with a smile on her face and a feisty personality.Haven's mom, Erin tells us Haven wants so much to return to school and play with her friends and that she points the school out whenever they drive by.She is one step closer to returning every day and we hope she joins us soon! Above is a photograph of Haven with my daughter Raven, shortly after Raven shaved her head at her highschool in support.
Hi Jennifer, It's wonderful to hear Haven is doing much better. And I want to say that was also wonderful and self-giving of your daughter as well. But one thing we do know for sure is that know matter what, young children leave a print in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteI admire that your daughter shaved her head in support of this little girl. That is such an amazing thing.
ReplyDeleteMy mother has a daycare in her home and almost 2 years ago now, one little girl in there was diagnosed with cancer.... 1 year later, dozens of chemo and radiation treatments and she is in remission. So there is always hope! I will also keep Haven and her family in my prayers!
My daughter is much braver than me. She even did it in her high school hallway in front of all the students.Haven's lesions still show some cancer in the biopsy but are stabilized. They have not grown. Thank you for the prayers on her behalf!
