Hailey was born in April of 2000. She was a happy, healthy baby girl! When she was 14 months old, Hailey was diagnosed with cancer in both kidneys.

Hailey started dialysis immediately as well as chemotherapy. She received chemo for six months, during which both kidneys were removed.

Six months after chemo ended, her family was devastated to find out that she had relapsed with another tumor in her abdomen, where her left kidney used to be.

Hailey went on to receive six more months of chemotherapy, followed by radiation treatments. She was declared in remission one month later and has remained so for five years!

Hailey was also on dialysis for four years and received a kidney transplant in 2005 in which her paternal grandmother was the living donor.

Life has not been easy for young Hailey. Sadly, Hailey lost her father in October of 2007. She is currently doing well and despite it all, Hailey continues to smile and bring sunshine to the lives of everyone.
