It’s the little things that make our heart smile so big when we least expect it.
Seeing her memory live on through the characteristics of others blesses us so very much. I know Mattie would be so proud of these kiddos!! 🤩🩷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Way to go, Za’Trion and Emma. Keep shining bright!! 🤩🤩🤩

I can’t think of anyone more deserving for this recognition than this man. 🥹❤️
His kind, warm disposition is displayed over and over again, even in the hardest of situations.

I’ll never forget him.
I’ll never forget his words, even though they were so hard to listen to. 😔
As he spoke to us about the extent and dangers of what we were facing with Mattie Elizabeth and the severity of DIPG, he vowed to do all he could.

Congratulations, Dr. Aldana. You are very deserving of this award!! Thank you for your unwavering service and dedication to this delicate section of the medical community. You are appreciated!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a testimony of God’s faithfulness and plans for RJ!! 🤩🙌🏻🤩🙌🏻🤩
Let’s let RJ Will know we are continuing to pray and support him in this next season and chapter!! We’re so proud of him and can’t wait to see what God has in store for him!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello to our village! We have some exciting news to share!

A little less than 2 years ago, RJ committed to NC State. Within a 2 week period of his commitment, he found himself in the midst of a sudden, very unexpected, and raging storm.

Cancer.

Shattered hearts. Shattered dreams. But God.

NC State deferred his enrollment and committed to a standing offer once he was medically cleared.

RJ is coasting through the maintenance phase of his treatment with infusions once every 3 months with his last infusion scheduled for November 2026.

Remission.

On May 14th, RJ will report to NC State to begin the medical clearance process so that he can begin workouts with his team with move in day 2 days later on May 16th.

Restoration.

Many of you have expressed your desire to be a part of his transition to NC State. We have created an Amazon Wish List, linked below, and will place the link in the comments as well.

We are forever grateful for a community that has carried us through. We are grateful to God for complete healing and restoration of the desires of RJ’s heart. The journey continues. Stay tuned…
