Teen-Ager’s Story Touches Many Lives

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share my story with the world [“Faith Is Helping Teen-Ager Win Fight of Her Life,” City Times, March 12]. So many good things have come because of that story, it’s unbelievable. Many people tell me that I’ll never know how many lives I have touched or encouraged, but it’s because of you that many of those people even know about me.

Thank you. You’re in my prayers.
