Helping Herittzy

Donation protected
Sometimes, superheroes reside in the hearts of small children fighting big battles. This quote resonates deep within my heart, as one of our students, Herittzy is facing a tough battle with child cancer. Herittzy is a bright, beautiful, and incredible 9 year old little girl who arrived everyday into class with a smile ready to learn. She is so passionate about seeking adventure in knowledge, exploring academic concepts, and is extremely creative in her ideas. She can’t wait for the future ahead of her as she has several career goals. Currently, she is debating on whether she would like to be an fabulous, over the top art teacher or as a nurturing doctor who specializes in pediatrics. As we know, life can take some unexpected turns. On December 23, 2022 Herittzy was diagnosed with stage 3 Neuroblastoma cancer and has started intense treatments. She is currently receiving blood transfusions, high doses of chemotherapy, and has done it all with a smile on her face despite enduring painful treatments, continuing to stay optimistic for her future.
The Rendón family is extremely humble and any money being donated will help support Herittzy’s family and the long journey they have ahead. More than anything, I would greatly appreciate if you could help lift this dear family and Herittzy in a time of need.

A veces, los superhéroes residen en los corazones de niños pequeños que libran grandes batallas. Esta frase resuena en lo más profundo de mi corazón, ya que una de nuestras alumnas, Herittzy, se enfrenta a una dura batalla contra el cáncer infantil. Herittzy es una niña brillante, hermosa e increíble de 9 años que llega todos los días a clase con una sonrisa dispuesta a aprender. Le apasiona buscar aventuras en el conocimiento, explorar conceptos académicos y es extremadamente creativa en sus ideas. Está impaciente por ver el futuro que le espera, ya que tiene varios planes de carrera. Actualmente, se debate entre ser una fabulosa y genial profesora de arte o una cariñosa doctora especializada en pediatría. Como sabemos, la vida puede dar giros inesperados. El 23 de diciembre de 2022, Herittzy fue diagnosticada de neuroblastoma en estadio 3 y ha comenzado un intenso tratamiento. Actualmente está recibiendo transfusiones de sangre, altas dosis de quimioterapia, y lo ha hecho todo con una sonrisa en la cara a pesar de sufrir tratamientos dolorosos, continuando concentrada en ser optimista para su futuro.
La familia Rendón es extremadamente humilde y cualquier donación servirá para apoyar a la familia de Herittzy y el largo camino que tienen por delante. Más que nada, agradecería enormemente si pudieras ayudar a apoyar a esta querida familia y a Herittzy en un momento de necesidad.
