Leave a Heart or a Prayer For Healing, Strength, and Every Child Fighting a Battle Too Big for Their Age

Hi, my name is Jess.
I am 7 years old, and I have a rare cancer.

This is my favorite fluffy rabbit. I keep him close because he makes me feel safe. He helps me smile, even when things feel scary and hard.

More Than a Diagnosis

My cancer is called neuroblastoma. It’s rare — but it doesn’t get to decide who I am.

I am gentle.
I am strong.
I am still a little girl who smiles softly, even on the hardest days.

I am more than hospital charts and test results. I am more than treatments and long words doctors use. I am still me.

The Quiet Truth Behind the Smile

Behind this quiet smile are hospital rooms, bright lights, and nights that feel too long. There are battles no child should ever have to face, moments filled with fear, and days when being brave feels exhausting.

But behind this smile is something else too.

Hope.

Hope built from love.
Hope carried by prayers.
Hope strengthened by strangers who choose to care.

Why Every Heart and Prayer Matters

Every heart sent reminds Jess she is not alone.
Every kind message tells her she is seen.
Every prayer gives strength in ways words can’t explain.

Love travels farther than we realize. Even the smallest gesture can reach a child fighting the biggest fight of their life.

Standing With All the Little Fighters

This is not just Jess’s story. It’s the story of so many children quietly fighting, holding onto comfort toys, trusting the adults around them, and showing courage beyond their years.

Please leave a heart.
Please say a prayer.
Please send love — not just for Jess, but for all the children walking this difficult path.

Because kindness matters.
Hope matters.
And so do they. 🤍
