Monica Velasquez
Monica is a fun-loving little girl who loves to dance, listen to music, and spend time with her four cousins.
Monica has Bilateral Retinoblastoma, a cancer found in the eyes. She was diagnosed shortly after birth. The cancer has left her with very little vision, despite making a recovery after a year of chemotherapy treatments. Monica has had a couple of relapses, followed by rounds of treatment, but she continues to fight and stay positive.
A Message of Hope Cancer Fund has helped the Velasquez family cover some of the financial burden as Monica endures expensive medical treatment, allowing her recovery to be the biggest priority.
