In this episode:

  • Kristen recalls the diagnosis of her daughter Paisley in 2018, spending 44 days in the hospital during initial treatment
  • Paisley's condition taking a turn for the worse at the beginning of treatment, while simultaneously learning that Paisley's father passed away
  • Kristen's story of healing through the devastation of being a single mom raising a child with cancer

This is a One Mission Podcast.

Cancer can steal a kid’s childhood – we help them get it back through
programs and activities that foster friendship, fun, and positive
distractions from treatment. Whether it’s putting on holiday
celebrations, providing art and music therapy or paying for expensive
hospital parking, we make life brighter for children and their families
from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
