Sofia is my younger cousin, just turned 17 after celebrating her dream 16 birthday with all the girls in the family going to Greece for her and her Twin Abbey’s birthdays ( trip had been planned for years) after the trip everything went back to normal for about a month when she went home from her high school volleyball practice with a shaking arm and headache. We later found out her she has a cancerous tumor that is inoperable and is a rare mutation that doctors only began to see in 2021. She is a very active energetic outgoing social butterfly. She loves country music, traveling, spending time with her family (mom, dad, brother, sister and 2 dogs) our family has been hit with cancer many times from our grandpa passing from lung cancer, our uncle from melanoma, also her dads family members too. Soon we will be coming from New York once a month for 2 years for the hopefully helpful treatment. Prayer has been our only hope.
