I made 2 cards alike, for two very special girls with cancer.
This card is for 11-year-old Ariel, who was diagnosed with stage 3 Wilm's tumor. I'm quoting tanya27 with the following: "This is a kidney cancer that occurs in children. Ariel had the kidney and some lymph nodes removed, went through chemo and radiation therapy, was about to celebrate the successful end of her treatments about 2 weeks ago, and they got some bad news. While she was still on chemo, the cancer had grown in her lungs and is currently too large for them to operate. So now she has to go through more aggressive chemo, which will most likely destroy her remaining kidney, radiation, and more. All this with a 50% chance of survival".
tanya27 has a thread for her on "Need a Lift". Here is the link if you would like to send her a card:
