Her beautiful chestnut brown locks are growing back now, a sign that the most terrifying months of her young life may finally be behind her. Kosair Kid Luciana had a lot to smile about at the first-ever Kosair Kids Princess Tea in July. Dressed as her favorite Disney princess, Ariel, all seemed to be going swimmingly, a stark contrast from the leukemia diagnosis doctors delivered when she was 3 years old.
“We felt devastated and felt that we were living our worst nightmare,” said Luciana’s mom, Karla.
Through the Kosair Kids Financial Assistance Program, funded by your generosity, Luciana received the best medical treatment possible without additional burdens on her family. It brought them peace and relief during an uncertain time.
“If it weren’t for Kosair for Kids, we would not have been able to cover the cost of Luciana’s treatment,” Luciana’s dad, Adan explained.
