Hi, my name is Carley and I am an angel. I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1995 and I died in 1996. I was 3 ½ years old when I died and I tried so hard to live, but AML was just so terrible and there weren’t a lot treatments back then. My parents were so sad when I went to heaven. I’m still 3 ½ years old because up here in heaven we stay the same age and none of us are sick anymore. It’s truly wonderful up here, but there are still way too many of you coming up here from earth because of AML.
I used to love to sit in my hospital bed and call all my friends. It made my days happy and helped me forget about all the awful medicines that went into me through all those tubes.
Well, about two years ago I made a little call to a couple of people on earth. They didn’t know it; we don’t need phones up here to make calls, but I got through and guess what happened.
Some very special people at Blood Cancer United and a wonderful doctor named Brian Druker got together and decided all this going to heaven stuff because of AML has got to stop! You see, for so long not much has been done about AML. I think people were scared because it is so complicated. But, now, my friends at Blood Cancer United and my friend Dr. Brian are doing it, and they’re calling it Beat AML. WooHoo! I am so excited and I will tell you, so are all my other angel friends up here in heaven.
Thank you Blood Cancer United and thank you Dr. Brian!!!!
Carley
In Memory
