Please Keep Mae in Your Thoughts
Five-year-old Annalise Mae was looking forward to starting kindergarten this year. She had already met her teacher and some of her future classmates and was excited about this important milestone.
Unfortunately, ongoing cancer treatment means Mae will not be able to attend school in person.
According to her family, after months of symptoms initially thought to be allergies, doctors diagnosed Mae with a rare form of childhood cancer. She underwent chemotherapy and radiation. Later tests showed the cancer had spread to the lining of her brain and spinal fluid.
To help her continue learning during treatment, Mae has been enrolled in a homebound education program. A teacher will visit her at home.
Despite the difficulties, Mae’s family faces each day with hope, courage, and determination. They remain focused on her treatment and look forward to the day she can join her classmates in a regular classroom.
