Stories like this, excite anyone to see what some parents are able to do for love of their children. And they get strength even in the most complicated moments.
Brody Allen is two years old and lives in Cincinnati, United States. Doctors have assured that his terminal cancer will not allow him to live until next Christmas.
So his family has decided give him one last joy: Celebrate Christmas in the middle of September. And people have turned to achieve it.
Team Brody: your Facebook campaign
Brody's parents took him to the doctor thinking he had a badly cured otitis. However, he was referred to a children's hospital to perform different tests that ruled out any major problems. So on May 5 they discovered that he had a very rare brain cancer called ETMR.
"Through the most aggressive treatment available, Brody spent 98 days in the hospital fighting four tumors: three in the brain and one in the spinal cord. After four months, we discovered that the treatments were not working. The tumors have grown, and has developed a fifth tumor. With a two-month life expectancy, we are making the most of Brody's time. This group was created to spread all the love, joy and support. "
This is explained by the parents of the child in the Facebook group: Team Brody. His idea: to help his son enjoy one last joy, an early Christmas, since it seems unlikely that Brody will see the real ones. Hence they will launch a campaign to request Christmas decoration, since it is not yet sold.
Donations have come from all over the United States but also support for the initiative in their neighborhood and through the social network. Your neighbors have decorated their gardens and houses so that Brody can feel Christmas and many people send him congratulations.
His older sister, McKenzie, explains that the little one doesn't know yet when it's Christmas: "He just got up one day and the tree was set".
We can see him enjoy Christmas music, his gifts and his tree.
In addition, Merry Christmas messages of all ages have arrived to your Facebook account, like this one.
Mckenzie Allen, 21, also thanked his Facebook account for everything that people had done for his brother to make him have a fantastic early Christmas.
It seems that the idea has succeeded. His parents, Todd and Siloh, say that "Brody looks more lively" and that they can "See the joy in your eyes. Thank you".
From Babies and More, a huge kiss for Brody and Merry Christmas!
