Last week we got a call from Ms. Shurtz, a fourth grade school teacher at Independence Elementary in Keller, TX. She has a young girl named McKayla in her class who is going through treatment for paraganglioma, an aggressive cancer. McKayla's options are beginning to be limited so her family is taking her to New York this week for a treatment at Sloan Kettering. McKayla was able to go to her class Holiday party and Ms. Shurtz wanted to make her visit extra special.
McKayla was wanting some fun things to wear while in the hospital in New York and she loves monkeys. We were able to find a box full of monkey gear including pajamas, shirts, gloves, a jacket, socks and slippers. The entire class gathered on the floor to help her open the gift. All the kids were so excited for McKayla and we were happy to be a part of a special day.
