Meet Vivian

Vivian’s big blue eyes and adorable smile won over the hearts of the nurses and doctors that cared for her while being treated for hepatoblastoma, a pediatric version of liver cancer.

​

Now two and a half, Vivian was five months old when she was diagnosed. She went through eight rounds of chemo and a surgery that removed three quarters of her liver. The chemo caused high frequency hearing loss which continues to be monitored during quarterly checkups.

​

“Vivian was nothing short of inspiring throughout her journey and still to this day,” said her mom, who added that family, friends, coworkers and even strangers surrounded the family with prayers, positivity, love and support. “ECF helped our family tremendously,” she said.

 

Their ECF Caseworker Khadija checked in with them regularly to provide emotional support and invited them to ECF events and activities. ECF volunteers delivered monthly groceries that mom said helped offset stress as well as financial strain. “We are forever grateful to ECF. We love attending the holiday parties; our girls have the best time!”

​

Vivian is currently healthy and thriving. She loves princesses, jumping on the trampoline, riding in her electric jeep, and playing with her beloved four year old sister Fallon. “There is nothing she thinks she can’t do if she puts her mind to it,” says her mom. “We could not be more thankful every day for her health.”
