My name is Zayleigh, and I'm 7 years old. When I was just 5 years old, on September 4, 2024, my life changed forever. That was the day I was diagnosed with B-cell leukemia. My family had no idea that one doctor's visit would begin the biggest fight of my life.

Since that day, I've spent countless hours in hospitals and clinics. I've had medicines, blood draws, treatments, and days where I didn't feel like smiling. There were times I lost my hair, felt tired, and missed out on school, birthdays, holidays, and playing with my friends. Some days were scary, and some days were painful, but I never fought this battle alone.

My mom, family, doctors, nurses, and everyone who loves me have stood beside me every step of the way. They reminded me to keep believing, even on the hardest days. Their hugs, prayers, and encouragement gave me strength when I needed it most.

Cancer may have changed my childhood, but it has not changed who I am. I am still a little girl who loves to laugh, dream, and have fun. I've learned that being brave doesn't mean you're never afraid—it means you keep going even when things are hard.

Today, I continue to fight with hope in my heart. My journey has taught me that every day is a gift, every smile matters, and miracles happen through faith, love, and determination.

If my story can inspire even one person to never give up, then every challenge I've faced has had a purpose. I may be small, but I am stronger than cancer. I am a warrior, and I will keep fighting one day at a time.

Thank you for listening to my story, for praying for me, and for standing with children like me who are fighting childhood cancer. Together, we can spread hope, raise awareness, and remind every child battling cancer that they are never alone.

My name is Kimberly Goliday the mother to Zayleigh Goliday. On August 29th 2024 I took Zayleigh to her pediatrician due to her running a fever for over a week. Prior to that I took her to several emergency rooms and clinics to which she was getting misdiagnosed. Fast forward to her pediatrician visit he did blood work and came in with his head down and gave me the news no mother wants to hear. He said she has cancer Leukemia and that we would be going to Lebohneur in Memphis to get stable then over to St Jude. We we're admitted to St Jude on August 30th. After a few days of having test ran she was diagnosed on September 4th 2024 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She started treatment asap. On September 11th 2024 we were discharged and was staying at the Ronald McDonald House so we could be close to the hospital. She was placed on a three year treatment plan. I was working up until her diagnosis but now with us being at home I am having to travel to Memphis for her chemotherapy. Her dad is still able to work but with me not having income and putting all my focus on Zayleigh while she goes through chemotherapy a small donation would help us a lot. We will appreciate it more than anything as I know times are hard on everyone with this economy. If your not able to donate just pray as we continue this journey as she is now in remission but will have to complete the treatment plan that has been put forward. Thank you for your time in reading this and for following our journey. ️️ ZAYLEIGH STRONG
