Meet Nora!

Nora is an extraordinary nine-year old girl who lives in our home-town of New Rochelle. She is an amazing gymnast, plays girls flag-football, and loves Taylor Swift, like most tweens.

In mid December, Nora woke up with a rash and was taken to the doctor. After further observation, Nora was admitted to the ER and later on in the evening was diagnosed with Stage IV kidney cancer (Wilms Tumor). The following week, Nora endured a 10 hour surgery to remove the tumor (Kidney) and surrounding lymph nodes. This brave girl was in the hospital for two weeks before returning home right before the new year. In January, she completed six days of radiation along with chemotherapy. Nora has a long road ahead with back to back rounds of chemotherapy twice a week for the next six months. Recently, Nora has had to go into the hospital and is receiving blood transfusions and platelet transfusions. In addition, she is experiencing side effects from her treatments such as nausea, fatigue, mouth sores and neuropathy. Although the treatments are brutal, Nora seems to find humor in any situation and has a smile on her face.

The Guzinski family is absolutely incredible as well. The Guzinskis embrace anyone they meet and instantly you feel like you’ve known each other for decades. They go out of their way to help friends and always greet you with a hug and smile. After receiving a beautiful wig for Nora, they decided to fundraise to give back to the organization that helped them despite all that they have going on.

With all of these office visits, bills can add up! Whether it is for the bi-weekly office visits, parking, or gas there are ancillary costs that can put a strain on the finances. Please consider adding a donation to help the Guzinski family. Nora is a fighter and is determined to beat cancer!
