Zoey was diagnosed with leukemia on November 24, 2022. At the time, she had just started preschool and was adjusting to her new routine when she developed a persistent fever. After nearly two months of doctor visits and testing, her family received the heartbreaking diagnosis.
Zoey has undergone chemotherapy both through a port and directly into her spinal cord. Treatment has required frequent trips to Minneapolis, each one a four-hour round trip. The long drives, combined with the demands of treatment, caused her to miss out on school and many typical preschool experiences. Despite it all, Zoey has remained resilient and full of life.
Her cancer diagnosis brought big changes for her family. The emotional and physical toll of treatment was felt by everyone, but Zoey’s bright personality has been a guiding light. She is always smiling, full of silliness, and known for making those around her laugh. She adores her siblings, an older sister and a younger brother, and is happiest when they are all together.
Zoey has a big imagination and a love for creativity. She enjoys telling and hearing jokes, and her favorite activity is crafting. Whether she is making something with her hands or making someone smile, Zoey puts her whole heart into everything she does.
She is a joyful, strong little girl who brings happiness wherever she goes.
