AthenaStrong Fight Against Leukemia

Donation protected
Dear Family and Friends,

 This is the hardest news we have ever had to share as a family; an event that has turned our lives upside down.

 On Friday January 8, 2016 our precious niece, Athena Velasquez, was diagnosed with leukemia. She is currently 11 years old, and is a student at Custer Baker Intermediate School.

Victor and Belinda Velasquez heard the devastating words no parent should ever have to hear: "Your daughter has Cancer." These 4 words have changed their lives forever. Their two younger daughters Sophia and Cristen who attend Needham Elementary school are also part of this journey and have religiously been by their sister’s side since hearing the news.

The doctors immediately admitted Athena into Riley’s Children hospital and began administering the necessary chemotherapy treatments to begin attacking the disease. She has a long recovery road ahead. Her family will continue to need our support throughout this difficult journey.

We are all so very proud of Athena. She is teaching us great courage; taking each day with hope and a positive attitude. We as the ADULTS are getting our strength from this remarkable little girl, who is living up to her name, Athena; Warrior Princess! , and demonstrating incredible strength and bravery!

We have tremendous faith in the almighty Lord that he is holding her hand and walking right beside her during this journey; a journey from which she will emerge victorious!

Together we can help Athena and her family with her medical bills, cost of living or any other financial needs that they may encounter along this stressful time. Your love, prayers and generous contributions is all we humbly ask.

With your help, love, support, and God on our side, she will beat this.

With all our gratitude



The Chirinos-Velasquez Family.
