Stories of Hope
Meet Isabella
little Isabella was diagnosed with PreB-ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia) four days after Christmas 2019. She was just four years old.
The family met Fight Cancer Foundation when they needed to relocate six hours away from home to Melbourne. Isabella needed treatment at The Royal Children’s Hospital and the family needed a place to stay.
The family - mum Maria, dad Sam and Isabella’s twin sister Alessandra had to relocate to Melbourne for 11 months during Isabella’s treatment. Home became ‘The Holiday House’ - a Fight Cancer Foundation apartment minutes away from the hospital.
On the 19th of April this year, Isabella had her final chemotherapy and rang the bell at The Royal Children’s Hospital with excitement for what marked two years and four months of treatment.
She has finished treatment and is in remission.
