As written by Maggie's parents - 

Our family's journey with cancer has been filled with both challenges and hope. In 2018, our daughter Maggie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) at just 5 years old. She showed incredible strength and resilience as she bravely underwent 2 1/2 years of rigorous treatment. However, in January 2023, at the age of 10, Maggie faced a relapse, which was a devastating setback for all of us.

Navigating the relapse has been difficult, watching our child endure this illness again. Despite this, we remain optimistic. The introduction of new treatments during Maggie's relapse has given us hope for her recovery. We are immensely grateful for the advancements in medical science and the dedicated healthcare professionals who have supported us every step of the way.

AAU has been an invaluable support system for our family during this challenging time. Their assistance has alleviated financial stress, enabling us to focus entirely on Maggie's treatment and recovery. We are deeply grateful for the programs they provide, and for their unwavering support and dedication to serving families like ours.
