#MissionMonday: Dayanara
Known as Daya, three-year-old Dayanara lives in Sunnyvale, California, with her mother, father and two brothers (ages 11 and 19) in a home the family rents. Daya is full of life and personality. She is described by her mom as a, “diverse little lady” whose interests vary greatly. Daya loves tutus and big dresses, but also enjoys playing sports and wrestling around with her dad and brothers.
Daya was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August of 2016. She was immediately transferred to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford and admitted to the NICU.
