August: Isabella Harry, 2 years old, Philadelphia, PA

July 31, 2017

“Bella” is an amazing toddler girl who loves to steal her mom’s phone and watch YouTube videos and dance. When you ask her a question, she simply shrugs her shoulders and says “I don’t know” with some sass. Isabella is smart. She knows the names of all her nurses and social workers.

Isabella spends a lot of time with those nurses right now. She has been an oncology patient at St. Christopher’s for almost a year. On October 11, 2016, Isabella was diagnosed with ALL. She had a spot on her head that grew into a bump and swollen lymph nodes on the back of her neck. Her mother took her to Einstein and they sent her to St. Christopher’s for consults, surgery and chemotherapy.

Her family wishes for Bella to be herself, chase her dreams and be a leader.
