Hot Moms 4 Kids

For her birthday my daughter asked for only one thing: a full head of hair to make her feel like a princess. At almost seven she had little understanding of death. Survival, it seemed, did not compare to the momentary fix of princess locks. The cancer had already robbed her of so much, the chemotherapy more still. If a decent wig offered even the tiniest chance of lifting her spirits, then I would do everything in my power to make it a reality.

According to the National Cancer Institute, everyday 43 kids are diagnosed with cancer, and in a year over 1,960 of them will die. That’s why the America Make a Wish Foundation grants a wish every 35 minutes to kids with life threatening diseases. They believe that in some cases, giving the kids their one heartfelt wish could be a real game changer. That's why, one way I’m going to pay it forward is sponsoring a wish.

The main focus of this article is Richard Nares, a grieving father, who has become a hero in the eyes of many children fighting cancer. Nares has had a huge impact on two-year-old Sisi Johnson who has neuroblastoma. Sisi’s mother does not have a car and struggles to transport her daughter to and from chemotherapy as much as six times a week. Nares, who lost his son, Emilio, to cancer in 2000, has started a program called “Ride With Emilio”. This program provides transportation for low-income families with children battling cancer. The program has hundreds of patients who receive free rides to and from their cancer treatments. Nares met

When got a little bit older, Otto became more interested in books and started to disappear for long amounts of time. One time, Otto walked off. The whole orphanage was in a panic. Once they had found him he would say that he haven't left the orphanage. Then Otto taught himself how to read. At the age of five, he took apart one of the phones at the orphanage. But when he put the phone back together, it wouldn't go on the phone bill, giving them free service. As Otto got older, he gained a very solid memory that made school a walk in the park for him. He convinced Mrs. McReedy (the lady in charge of the orphanage), to let him teach himself instead of going to school.

RITTMAN DISTRICT — Olivia Burdette spent some time in a hospital this summer, and one thing that made it more bearable was a gift of a penguin blanket from one of the nurses.

For this activity, I decide to do the Blanket activity. Why? because it takes the participants out of their comfort place. It makes them think out of the box and its fun. I decide to pick kids from middle school to see if they do it faster. Some of them were cousins, others were friends of my cousins, so we had about 12 middle schoolers. The supplies were few, only a blanket and their participation.

As established in the National Cancer Institute, “Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide for children and adolescents in America, accounting for more than 91,250 children that lose their lives to this disease” (National Cancer Institute). Cancer is not considered a terminal illness, but more of a chronic illness because of the intense treatment that the individual has to endure. As a result of this treatment the chances of survival for children suffering from pediatric cancer has increased around 80 percent. The increment in the survival rate has made it possible for many parents to not have to go through the acceptance that they are about to lose their child to a terminal illness, but have coping strategies that will make them adapt to the fear of the reoccurrence of that illness. This illness has a great impact on the patient as well as the family because not only do they have to adapt to this illness physically, but also mentally. Research has shown that there are both short term and long term effects that come into effect when the child is both in treatment and also years after the treatment. The type of cancers that these adolescents have to endure range from leukemia, brain tumors and other cancerous tumors that have appeared in recent medical studies. These tumors can either be benignant, an acute case that is non-cancerous or malignant, a cancerous case that will need intense treatment over an extended period of time.While many would say there is more of a

She’d found a way to tell it.” If I were to make my own quilt, I would include my pain, all my loved ones, and humbleness. Somehow when linked, become one as a whole, making me the person I am today. My family and friends have supported me unconditionally and been by my side whenever I needed them. My pain has taught me to learn from my mistakes and not allow anyone or anything break my spirit. Being humble has helped me realize that no matter the circumstance, I need to accept my life and the things in it, it is just up to me to create a better

On May 15, 2014, a little girl named Kiera Stout, was diagnosed with a rare type of stage 4 muscular cancer. Kiera was 8 years old when she was first diagnosed and lived in St. Louis Missouri. Kiera fought a hard battle for about 3 long years. While Kiera fought her battle she kept her smile and positive attitude. She enjoyed hanging out with her family and friends and seeing them happy. Even though Kiera was young, she still loved the Lord and put all her faith in Him. Kiera loved to share her love of Christ with everyone she met. Sadly on May 3, 2017, Kierra Stout lost her battle when she was only 10 years old, however before she passed away she wanted people to do one thing for her if she couldn't do it herself which was to “make kindness the new cool”.
