Yaretzi has always loved playing outside with her brothers, most especially playing soccer. She was active and loved to play. We began to notice a rash on her face and body. She had fatigue and a very low appetite. We took her to the doctor and she needed lab work and her lab results returned abnormal. She was then admitted to the hospital on May 6, 2023 and was diagnosed with leukemia that same day.

She has kept a smile on her face and has been positive throughout her whole treatment. She has managed to put smiles on other’s faces and doesn’t let her health condition get in the way of being the beautiful soul she has always been.

She is 3 months into treatment and has been handling her treatments well, but has low energy sometimes. She is looking forward to going to school and making new friends and being able to play sports.
