Zoefia’s Story
https://www.zoefiaalexandriafoundation.org/
Zoefia (Zoe) Alexandria was two years old when she was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma, a rare and aggressive type of cancer that starts in the cells of the brain’s Pineal gland. At this point, Zoefia’s life and all who cherished her would change; looking back now and seeing things through her eyes, we can only wonder and ask ourselves how, why, and where. The initial doctors did emergency life-saving surgery, and Zoe came out smiling and charged up. Sure, she endured major brain surgery and more than likely was in pain, but she never showed it; the love she received and the love she gave in return kept all painful thoughts at bay. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turned into years; this disease offered merely months of life after diagnosis; a small percentage could see a few years. Zoefia was in that small percentile bracket; she was a fighter and determined to beat the odds; several doctors would see a short time ahead, a few days, maybe a week after viewing MRI results or looking at her then-current state of health, Zoe would prove them wrong. Zoefia would endure numerous surgeries, different levels of chemotherapy, radiation treatment, and clinical trials among other medications to combat and counter side effects; Zoe just kept smiling and loving; she brought joy and laughter to all who spent time with her, she never tired to show love and affection, it was something infectious almost magical you could say, she left an indelible impression and memory upon your heart and soul, Zoefia gave us the strength, and we leaned on her little shoulders with smiles and laughter, she loved to learn, she enjoyed being amongst her peers, her favorite color was Green, and she made it known, she was very adamant at telling mommy ” she(Zoe) was the Boss,” her favorite holiday was Christmas, the innocence of a child the twinkling in their eyes when they open presents or seeing Santa, Zoe enjoyed birthday parties and amusement park adventures. To ask How, Why, and Where? How could such a beautiful little person stand so strong and courageous while facing uncertainty and impossible odds? Why was she taken from us so soon? Why do deadly diseases such as Pineoblastoma and many other pediatric cancers exist? Where are the cures? So many children enter this world, and their Cancer battle starts almost immediately; some little ones similar to Zoefia get a few short years of life, and then things get turned upside down; what about the families, the strain to keep smiling, show the little one you love them, and it will be OK even when you are unsure what tomorrow will bring. This is where Zoefia’s Legacy will live on; we cherish her videos, her pictures her adventures, and we have incorporated this into our mission.
We thank you all for your love and Support!
