Christian Lopez, 7

Christian Lopez lives with joy and faith at the center of his story. Diagnosed with leukemia, Christian draws strength from his belief in Jesus and his dream of becoming a marine biologist.

All boy, Christian loves Minecraft, Godzilla, and dragons and he can’t get enough of his favorite meal of spaghetti and lemonade.

He walks the runway with confidence, because he knows who he is. His story reminds donors that healing includes identity, dignity, and joy.
