Maggie loves to dance, listen to music, draw, and read. She can be shy and quiet until she gets to know you. She also loves the Korean boy band BTS.

In July of 2016 Maggie was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid Cancer. She was having trouble eating and swallowing in the time leading up to her diagnosis. Cancer has changed so much about our lives. Maggie is always at the doctor and has frequent hospital stays. She’s had two rounds of RAI and she will be going again this November. Maggie is scheduled to have a lung biopsy soon and a bone marrow biopsy by the end of this year. Her bone marrow is declining and transplant is being considered. We struggle at times with bills. My husband is the only one working and my oldest daughter helps when she can. Maggie is not able to go to high school or do things like kids her age Maggie Rose has 3 sisters and three brothers and they are amazing with her. They are her support in every way.

Maggie has been fighting since the age of 3 years old. Her faith and positivity keep her going. She’s had her feeding tube since 2005, acute asthma , cancer, a skin condition, and bone marrow failure but, no matter what, she still has her smile and never complains.
