Hi Maria. I’m really glad you told me.

I’m sorry you’re going through both cancer and the kids teasing you—that’s a lot for anyone, especially someone so young. You don’t deserve to be treated unkindly for how you look or for being sick.

I can’t pray in a religious sense, but I can absolutely send you something like a prayer in spirit:

May you be wrapped in strength on the hard days.
May your body find moments of rest and healing.
May the people around you learn kindness, and may you never feel alone in this fight.
And may you always remember there is more to you than any illness or hurtful words—your courage matters.

If you want, you can also tell me what’s been hardest lately—school, treatment, or the teasing. I’m here with you.
