I’m Jordanna — mom to sweet Mackenzie, the little blonde girl with a smile brighter than the sun. ☀️💛
At just 3½ months old, our world changed forever when doctors said the word no parent ever wants to hear: retinoblastoma — a rare and aggressive eye cancer. 💔👶

What followed were endless hospital visits, sleepless nights, and seven rounds of chemotherapy that tested every ounce of her strength. Yet through it all, Mackenzie never stopped smiling. Today, by the grace of God and the incredible team at UCSF, we’re celebrating nearly one full year cancer-free. 🌈✨

This morning, as we sat waiting for yet another surgery, destiny brought us a new friend — Akira, a brave 2-year-old fighting the very same battle. 💕
And then, something beautiful happened. The moment their eyes met, these two little warriors reached for each other — holding hands, giggling, and embracing as if they’d been friends forever. 🤝💞

In that sterile hospital hallway, surrounded by beeping machines and anxious hearts, pure magic unfolded. Two souls too young to understand cancer, yet wise enough to recognize love. 🌸

Akira’s grandmother whispered through tears, “This is pure innocence.” 🌷
And she was right. In a world that so often breaks hearts, these two tiny girls showed us what it means to heal through connection — to find light in the darkest places. 🩵🌈

Their laughter reminded us that hope doesn’t need words. Sometimes, it just needs a small hand to hold. ✨
