Ximena is a 6 year old girl who was starting becoming sick in May of 2011. She was diagnosed with cancer (Wilm's Tumor). She went through 24 rounds of chemo and 9 rounds of radiation. She finished treatment in November and 3 weeks later they found more cancer in a different part of the body. With the support of her family , friends and the strength of God she managed to get through another type of Chemo. She is still undergoing more treatment.
Ximena has one sister Karina age 11 and loves to do arts and crafts with her!!! Her favorite color is pink and her favorite singer Selena Gomez.. She is a very intelligent, quiet, shy and smiley little girl. To look at her smile it makes me smile and I feel that even with the challenge we are facing we will not give up!!!!
