💕 Serving up SMILES for your Monday motivation! 💕
Remember my little warrior friend, Charlotte, aka “Coco”? After hearing her story along the parade route last year, I knew I had to bring extra joy to her Mardi Gras by painting her parade ladder! 🎨💜💚💛
In 2025, she was diagnosed with Pre B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Coco has endured more than most adults ever will.
And here’s the HAPPY update! 💕
Coco made it through the most intense phase of treatment and is now in long-term maintenance! She’s back in school, crushing physical therapy, and handling treatments like the little ROCKSTAR she is! 💪
Here she is standing in front of the mural I painted at the entrance of Ochsner’s Pediatric Cancer Treatment Unit. Look closely—you’ll find COCO hidden in the bubbles! 🫧🎨
In less than a year, this little warrior will be ringing THAT BELL! 🔔 I can’t wait to cheer her on!
Coco’s story is just ONE of so many. If a little color, creativity, and kindness can bring even one smile, it’s worth every second. 💕
And there’s more to come… We’re planning another visit with stickers, coloring sheets, and colorful surprises for these incredible kids!
Stay tuned… we’re just getting started! 🎨💕🎗️
