SHE WAS 10 YEARS OLD, FULL OF LIFE, SPUNKY, THOUGHTFUL AND A WONDERFULLY GIFTED SOCCER PLAYER. WE TRANSFERRED HER TO CHILDRENS HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH OSTEOSARCOMA, A RARE FORM OF BONE CANCER. DISEASES LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO CHILDREN, BUT THEY DO, AND IT CAUSES THEIR FAMILY NO END OF SORROW AND PAIN. THIS YOUNG LADY WHO HAS A HUGE HEART AND SO MUCH TO GIVE HAS BECOME VERY SPECIAL TO US. HER JOURNEY, WHICH IS STILL IN PROCESS, MAY INCLUDE CHEMOTHERAPY, RADIATION, SURGERY OR A COMBINATION OF THESE. DESPITE KNOWING WHAT SHE HAS TO GO THROUGH SHE IN INCREDIBLY FUNNY AND CAN BRING A SMILE TO ANYONES FACE. THIS YOUNG LADYS MOTHER IS A HARD WORKING SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE. SINCE THE DIAGNOSIS, SHE HAS STRUGGLED WITH WORK KEEPING HER FROM HER DAUGHTERS SIDE. AS HER MOTHER NEEDS TO BE WITH HER DAUGHTER DURING HER TREATMENTS, WE ARE SUPPORTING THEM THROUGH THE FOUNDATION WITH CANCER GRANTS THAT WILL HELP MOM TO BE ABLE TO STAY WITH HER DAUGHTER AND TO COVER TRAVEL EXPENSES DURING THE TREATMENT AND HOSPITAL STAY.COMPASSIONATE, HIGH-QUALITY PATIENT CARE; LIFE-SAVING AND LIFE-PRESERVING MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SERVICES IN A COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITAL; ESSENTIAL EMERGENCY SERVICESTHESE ARE THE REASONS WE ARE IN THE SIMI VALLEY COMMUNITY.WEBSITE FOR OUR COMMUNITY BENEFIT INFORMATION: HTTPS://WWW.ADVENTISTHEALTH.ORG/ABOUT-US/COMMUNITY-BENEFIT/
