ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando 4-year-old with one of the rarest forms of pediatric cancer is recovering after her very own Christmas miracle – a bone marrow transplant.
Chloe Bella’s mother, Nayara Hermes, said her donor flew all the way from Europe to provide the donation to help heal her daughter from juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.
“It's amazing,” she said. “It's a new beginning.”
