St. Jude Pink Ceramic Vessel - Flowers Candle By Camilla

10-years-old · Nicaragua

acute myeloid

Camila was 5 years old in 2015 when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. After undergoing months of treatment in Nicaragua, her cancer did not go into remission. Out of options in their home country, Camila’s family turned to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Camila’s treatment included chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. She returned home in 2016, but a year later, tests showed the cancer was back. Camila’s continuing treatment at St. Jude has included chemotherapy and a second bone marrow transplant.

“St. Jude is like heaven on earth,” said Camila’s mom. “It’s the greatest place.”

While in treatment, Camila illustrated a piece of artwork that featured flowers. For this and many reasons, this candle is inspired by her.
