Aubrey Bell-Davis
Aubrey is a 10-year-old Bradyville, TN local who was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-cell ALL) in September of 2021.
Their worlds fell apart When her family learned about her having leukemia. Her Mom said, "The worst thoughts were going through my mind of how would I ever live without her? How could this happen to the most wonderful little girl?"
But Aubrey is a trooper; on the day she was diagnosed, she had three blood transfusions and four platelet transfusions, multiple lumbar punctures, and two bone marrow biopsies. Countless infusions, several blood transfusions, and platelet transfusions, and she has been handling this better than any of the adults.
Despite missing several fun events and celebrations, Aubrey has no negative feelings about being in a hospital and having her treatments. Having a dream trip will help make up for all the missed moments. This would be everything and especially to her little sister, who sometimes gets left out of the picture.
We are on a mission to raise $5,000 to send Aubrey and her family on a DREAM to Disney World and Give Kids The World where they can make new beautiful memories and celebrate the beauty of life!

We may not be able to comprehend what she has gone through because Natalie has not only had to go through 1 brain tumor diagnosis but 3 different brain tumor diagnoses, an optic pathway glioma in 2019, this tumor damaged her eyesight, pituitary and adrenal glands and the chemo damaged her hearing, Anaplastic astrocytoma in 2020 which left more damage. The 3rd tumor appeared in January of this year, Her doctors ran tests and determined that it was more aggressive than the 1st tumor but less aggressive than the 2nd tumor.
Before all of these, Natalie was a wild child and so full of energy. She had no fear, willing to do just about anything. She loved to write, draw and create. She loved to run, jump, ride her bike, ride the 4-wheeler, go snowboarding, and go on adventures. Because of her diagnosis, Natalie's friends have all moved on without her. She is unable to do a lot of activities that she used to it changed her ability to live a normal 14-year-old life.
These diagnoses may have affected Natalie physically but they did not take away her spirit.

He was born healthy and he looks normal but just after a couple of weeks, the family received the heartbreaking news, his Mom's first question was "Why again? Why again on us?" They already lost 3 children and one of them had the same diagnosis as Lars. It was truly hard to accept but they believe that God blessed and trusted them to have this very special baby boy.
Lars has been through so much, fighting for his life since the day he got diagnosed, he never had a chance to talk, walk, cry, or even smile. He has been bedridden ever since and only using a Gtube to eat and take his medications; his doctor advised he could die if they feed him through his mouth.
