Positive Attitude Makes A Difference
We honor our our most recent patient Larry for September National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. At just 13, Larry is battling Leukemia and we think the words his mom shared with us sum it up perfectly....
“While our world has crumbled, we have found strength in each other and the will to keep pushing forward. Larry is only 13, but he is so strong and shows how valuable a positive attitude can be as he faces this battle.”
The Zippyfund helped with a mortgage payment to give this family a little breathing room to focus on what’s most important, Larry’s treatment.
We can all learn a thing or two from Larry and the reminder that positivity is what can make a difference in everyone’s life. Sending a whole lotta love to the Sharov family!
