improving the lives of the children of the cancer community through the art of storytelling

At the age of 13 Loretta’s life changed when she was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Loretta’s faith increased even more, and she desired to do more to help others. Her parents taught her so much about giving back and helping those in need throughout her life. Loretta’s goal is to help children who are facing challenges and doing great things despite their circumstances. She loves to celebrate and honor childhood warriors in various ways. 

​

One thing Loretta wants others to know about childhood cancer is that unfortunately after remission, for most survivors, it is only the beginning of the journey. Due to chemotherapy and radiation treatment, Loretta has had various complications throughout her life even into adulthood. This has taught her so much about gratitude even for the small things.
