Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation

MEET AMELIA

Amelia is a kind little girl who was diagnosed with leukemia at age four. She loves playing with her brothers and sisters, and especially loves dolls and playing dress-up. She is happy and full of life, especially when she is with her amazingly loving family. This little warrior princess endured three years of treatment and in July of 2022 she conquered her battle with cancer and rang the No More Chemo Bell surrounded by friends and family.

Amelia's family said they couldn't have done it without the help of medical staff and Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation (NNCCF).

"They helped, obviously, with the medical bills, but it's more... you get to enter almost like a community that you never knew before by meeting the other families."

Family Testimonials

Andrew

"During these past two years, I cannot imagine how we would have gotten by without the help, love, and support of everyone at NNCCF. Everything they have done for us up to this point I am unimaginably grateful for. From the gas, rental cars, hotel rooms, events, holidays, and providing presents for the rest of my siblings on Christmas, all while supporting me with smiles and cheers."
