Did you know? Each year in the U.S. approximately 15,780 children between the ages of birth and 19 years of age are diagnosed with cancer. Of that, over 800 parents throughout Northern California will hear the words, “Your child has cancer”.
Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly, and does not discriminate by ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region.
That’s why every September we take time to raise awareness & spread the word about childhood cancer.
May of 2021 started like any other month. Our family was enjoying the warm weather and spending time with friends and family. Unfortunately, May was the month that our world would change in a way we never expected.
During the week of July 17th, 2023, Yazmine hadn’t been herself. She’d been running fevers on and off and wasn’t eating. She had no energy and only wanted to sleep. Then, on July 19th, her dad’s birthday, we decided that I would take her to the ER for a quick check up and be back in time to make a birthday dinner. Little did we know everything would change on that day.
