I am a mother of three girls and we live in a small French mountain village. Recently, our family was struck by terrible news: our eldest daughter, aged 14, was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes, diagnosed as having affected her lungs, so stage 4.We have started treatment with chemotherapy.We spend time between the hospital and home, because the drugs are very strong and there is a high risk of infection, the slightest virus can cause serious complications.Although it was very difficult at first, the girl remains positive and tries to continue her studies, although she does not always have the strength to get out of bed. It is sad because I want to see my teenage daughter full of strength and energy and not hooked up to a drip in a hospital ward.She is very brave and strong, and she is not giving up hope of one day returning to a normal life.

Although the treatment is free, there are a lot of expenses: travelling, because it takes 2 hours to get to the hospital, dear children to keep up morale, to cook her favourite food, to make her feel supported and to keep her hope alive, her family and friends are trying to support her, and I thank you if you will support her too.
