2-year-old Zadee Lopez has neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer that’s formed tumors in multiple areas of her body. The battle has been extremely tough on the young girl and her family, with numerous trips to and from nearby cities in Texas for chemotherapy, but Zadee’s been smiling and laughing through it all.

Some of her tumors have been removed, but there’s still a lot of progress to be made. Zadee was diagnosed in April, and her pregnant mother was unable to be with her during chemo because of the radiation. The distance was tough, but Zadee’s dad stepped in and did everything he could to keep his daughter comfortable and happy.
