Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Lighthouse Podcast. We are in week two of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, sharing heartfelt stories of families navigating the challenging journey of childhood cancer.
This week, we have the privilege of sitting down with Mia Bell, a remarkable single mother to three incredible children: Maurice (20), Cory (17), and Chloe (11). In 2017, their world was abruptly turned upside down when Chloe was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma at four years old. After completing the initial treatment, Chloe faced relapse after 21 months.
Mia's story is one of unwavering resilience and determination. She sheds light on the significance of maintaining a sense of normalcy for Chloe throughout their journey, incorporating art therapy, yoga, gymnastics, and creating memories with her brothers.
As a single parent, Mia shares her experiences guiding her boys to self-sufficiency at a young age while she was by Chloe's side during treatment. Even from the hospital, she maintained consistent communication and made it a priority to verbalize her love for them daily.
Tune in to this emotional episode as we illuminate the path of resilience and love that defines the Bell family's journey and find inspiration in their story of strength and purpose.
