WATCH: 11-year-old cancer fighter’s Christmas wish
A Hopkins girl needs your help realizing her Christmas wish, one year after her battle with cancer started
HOPKINS, S.C. (WOLO) — A Hopkins girl needs your help realizing her Christmas wish, one year after her battle with cancer started.
11-year-old Audra Ebo has neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer that usually affected infants to 18-month-olds. Since being diagnosed within a few days after Christmas of 2014, the girl has been admitted to three hospitals 180 times.
Most recently, she spent almost three months at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where her liver suffered severe damage during during a bone marrow transplant. Her liver is simply unable to handle any more treatment.
Audra came home to Hopkins just before Thanksgiving. Her parents, Melanie and Tim, have talked to her about how doctors are unable to do anything else to help her. They say, she’s in God’s hands now.
“When she reaches the other side, she won’t have any limitations,” her mother says. “And we are thankful for that.”
Audra has a simple wish this holiday season; to spend her as much time as possible with her seven siblings in a new playhouse.
You have the chance to bring that dream to life, at a fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse at 400 Columbiana Dr. Tuesday. The restaurant will donate 10% of food sales to Audra, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.
