Her blood betrayed her. At just seven years old, Celine’s body began to fight itself — a silent war she never asked for.
Once full of songs and sunshine, Celine’s laughter now echoes in the sterile light of hospital rooms. Doctors diagnosed her with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an aggressive cancer of the blood. The news shattered her family. Overnight, her crayons were replaced by IV tubes, and her playground became a bed surrounded by beeping machines.

Each treatment was a storm — the chemotherapy burned, her tiny body shook, and her hair fell strand by strand. But even in the pain, Celine whispered strength. She told her nurse, “Don’t cry, I’m still brave.”
Her drawings of smiling suns and rainbows covered the walls — her way of painting light into darkness.
Then came the first sign of hope. After weeks of fear and fatigue, her blood tests showed improvement. Her mother wept quietly, holding Celine’s hand, whispering, “You’re winning, my love.” That day, Celine smiled wider than ever, a fragile warrior shining through the storm.
Celine’s battle isn’t over — leukemia hides, waiting to return. But love, compassion, and unity are stronger.
Share her story. Spread awareness. Stand beside every child still fighting unseen wars.
Because when blood turns against life, it’s humanity that must fight back.
