Whether you’ve been diagnosed yourself, or you’re supporting a friend or loved one through their fight, almost everyone at some point in their lives has been affected by cancer. When this little girl sat by and watched her aunt lose her fight to the disease, she knew she had to do something to help.
At just 10 years old, Madeline Domian already knows how brutal cancer can be for a person both physically and emotionally as she watched her late aunt Kathy, or ‘Katiedo’, fight. When she gets older, Madeline is determined to find a cure for cancer, but until then, she’s decided to honor her aunt by helping others during the tough treatments.
At first, Madeline tried selling cookies and donating the funds to the American Cancer Society, but she knew she could do more to honor her late aunt.
“When she died, I thought I should do something bigger,” Madeline said. “I thought, all kids want to do is be happy and I wanted to let them be happy when they go through their treatment.”
The fifth-grader came up with the idea to start ‘Katiedo Kare Kits 4 Kids’, which provides supplies and treats like stuffed animals, lotion, and coloring books to make treatment a little more pleasant for kids with cancer.
“All kids want to do is be happy, be with friends, play, so I wanted to make little kits to make them feel happy so that they feel better,” Madeline said.
