“Becca Boo” is the last to want to go to sleep at night, and the first to get up in the morning; she just wants to soak up every second of every day. Her zesty personality keeps her loved ones going and holding onto hope as they support her undergoing chemo treatments. She enjoys playing on her iPad and spending quality time with her sister.

We express our gratitude to Alison Wood of http://www.aliwoodphotography.com/ for her act of giving forward to our Foundation and Becca’s family. We are forever thankful for her talent and time.

This brave little lady is wise beyond her years. Just look into her bright brown eyes and you’ll see what we see. Emma has Fanconi Anemia (FA) — a rare blood disorder that leads to bone marrow failure. FA prevents bone marrow from making enough blood cells for your body to work normally. Sadly, she is currently experiencing severe bone marrow failure. The family is heading out of state for a bone marrow transplant and it meant a lot to them to have a photo shoot before the surgery.

Emma sweetie, we’ve gotta hand it to you. Tiny Sparrow Foundation’s sessions are called a Picture of Hope, but you — you are a Picture of Strength.

We express our gratitude to Jessica Bookout at www.lovelyfitzgerald.com for her act of giving forward to our Foundation and Emma’s family. We are eternally humbled by her gift behind the lens.

Kateri is bravely battling a congenital liver disease called Biliary Atresia. She recently had the Kasai surgery, and may ultimately need a liver transplant. Her family is hoping their darling daughter pulls through this difficult time.

Despite surgical intervention and taking many medications for survival, she is developing as a normal 8 month old and is full of life and love.

Our deepest gratitude to Laura Kruger of laurakrugerphotography.com for her act of giving forward to our Foundation and Kateri’s family.

Although he may come across as a bit shy on the outside, inside is a mighty warrior. You see, Lucas is an Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia survivor. He will finish his last Chemo treatment in July.

Scarlett was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme which is a grade IV astrocytoma within the brain. She was first diagnosed with a very large tumor in August of 2012. The tumor was removed five days later. On September 11, 2012, she was diagnosed with GBM. She courageously undergoes 70 weeks of chemotherapy in hopes of curing the disease.

“Scarlett is super cuddly – loves to be loved.” Like many young ladies, she wants to do things her own way. She is happy and laughing much of the time while she enjoys being tickled, practicing somersaults, and food! She loves exploring her world while she runs and plays.

Our deepest gratitude to Esther Mathieu of www.esthermathieu.com for her act of giving forward to our Foundation and Scarlett’s brave family.
