Question

Gabriella has spent the past year doing everything she could to help other kids. The 11-year-old girl raised thousands of dollars for a group — which makes sick kids’ wishes come true. She’s given money to cancer research, and worked hard to help people understand cancer better. She’s also donated her hair to a group — which makes wigs (假發(fā)) for kids who lost their hair.

All of that is pretty amazing. It’s even more amazing that Gabriella has done all this while fighting her own cancer.

Around Thanksgiving a year ago, doctors found Gabriella had cancer.

Because of her illness, Gabriella could ask for a wish from the wishes group. She asked for her own wish, but soon worked on helping make other sick kids’ wishes come true, too. A store promised to donate $1 for each letter to Santa Claus during the holiday season. Gabriella asked people to send Santa Claus letters by starting a social-media page, and the letters poured in. In the end, Gabriella’s effort raised $275,000 for the wishes group enough to pay for wishes for about 36 other kids.

Since then, Gabriella has given speeches about cancer to thousands of people. She’s busy but never too busy to figure out new ways to help others. Her family has even started a charity to raise money to cure cancer like hers. Gabriella says, “My saying is: ‘You might have a bad day today, but there’s always a shining star to look forward to tomorrow.’”
