Ila Jean

Ila is our friend who we met through a HappyDoll session with CandleLighters NYC.  She has been battling cancer for 6 years, enduring tough treatments and multiple surgeries.  After finding out that she unfortunately relapsed with a new tumor in December, we sent her a HappyDoll to let her know we are thinking of her.
