NEGU Kid of the Week-Chylee!

 

 

We are so honored to recognize our NEGU Kid of the week, Chylee! Chylee has been fighting ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) since March 2012. Through it all, Chylee has maintained her strength, her passion, her laughter and her love for life as she continues to show cancer that it picked a fight with the wrong girl. Chylee’s mom shares with us, “Chylee is just amazing! She is so very silly, and always has us laughing! Her spirit keeps us rejuvenated! Though this is a really rough spot in the road, our family has pulled together and is ready to get to the life without cancer!”

 

Chylee continues to fight with such amazing strength. After experiencing a relapse in October 2013, Chylee’s response has been to come back with even more fuel for her fight. Although Chylee’s journey has been rough, Chylee’s mom tells us that her fighting spirit is stronger than ever. . “It has been a huge blow to our family! But I have had the opportunity to see Chylee grow so much through it. Though we are mourning things like, losing hair, missing school, missing Halloween, steroids, etc… she has come back with an, ‘Okay. Now let’s do whatever it takes to kick this thing!’ attitude. She wants to live! She has said that 10-years of life is not enough for her!”- Chylee’s mom

Chylee is looking forward to a bright future as a hair dresser and would love to own her own hair salon. She also loves arts and crafts!

Chylee is determined to Never Ever Give Up and encourages other kids to do the same. “She has taken this hard journey with such strength. It is hard, and it hurts. Through her, we are always looking at the end in sight, the positives in the chaos, and the faith in God we need!”– Chylee’s mom
