Zadee Lopez is a beautiful 3-year-old girl with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Her mom lives here in Lubbock and can't be with her during her treatment. When you hear why, you'll cry.

Zadee's mom is pregnant and can't be with her during her chemo because of it. Here's some info about Zadee's condition:

"Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer among infants and children between the ages of 0-5. It accounts for about 6% of all cancers in children. There are about 700 new cases of Neuroblastoma each year in the United States. This specific cancer develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body. 2-3 cases of Neuroblastoma found has already spread into many parts of the child's body. Zadee Lopez was diagnosed with With stage 4 Neuroblastoma when she was diagnosed. She was two. She is now three."
