Here are a couple of more images of Isabelle. She's 8 years old now. She was 7 when she began her cancer journey, finishing treatment just before Christmas last year. These images show her "
Beads of Courage." This organization, as they put it on their Facebook page, "uses beads as powerful doses of medication. Beads of Courage help children coping with serious illness RECORD, TELL and OWN their stories of COURAGE." They award the children a bead for being courageous as they go through various medical procedures. Each bead represents a specific event - getting blood, having blood drawn, chemo.... All the things one would go through in the hospital. It's all overwhelming enough for an adult, but it's huge to a small child. And Beads of Courage helps.
If you haven't already, please go to our
Portraits of Hope page on Facebook and click the like button. In the coming weeks, I'll be mentioning area businesses that help sponsor this project. The more Likes we have on that page the more evidence we'll have to show them how much people care about this issue, and how much people will notice that they care, too. Hopefully, that will help them make the decision to sponsor the Portraits of Hope display. Without giving a dime yourself, you can help raise money to fight cancer just by "Liking" the page.
