Kennedy Coke has faced more challenges in her short life than most people. Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at just two years old, Kennedy has spent much of her childhood bravely battling the disease.
Kennedy Coke在她短暂的一生中面临的挑战比大多数人都多。肯尼迪在两岁时就被诊断出患有一种罕见的癌症,她童年的大部分时间都在勇敢地与这种疾病作斗争。
It all began when a routine visit to urgent care for a common cold led to the discovery of a lung tumor (肿瘤), a consequence of a rare genetic condition. That makes it difficult for her body to control tumors, leading to multiple health battles. Despite that, Kennedy overcame her initial diagnosis, becoming magically cancer-free after going through numerous treatments.
这一切都始于对普通感冒的紧急护理的常规访问,结果发现了一种罕见的遗传性疾病导致的肺肿瘤。这使得她的身体难以控制肿瘤,从而引发了多场健康斗争。尽管如此,肯尼迪还是克服了最初的诊断,在经历了无数次治疗后,神奇地变成了无癌患者。
However, Kennedy’s journey took another difficult turn in January 2024, when doctors discovered thyroid (甲状腺) tumors during a routine scan. She underwent surgery and once again showed incredible recovery. But just six months later, her condition worsened, and doctors found the uterine (有关子宫的) cancer. Now, at just 10 years old, Kennedy faces the terrible prospect of a hysterectomy (子宫切除) followed by more treatments.
然而,肯尼迪的旅程在2024年1月又经历了一个艰难的转折,当时医生在常规扫描中发现了甲状腺肿瘤。她接受了手术,再次表现出令人难以置信的康复。但仅仅六个月后,她的病情恶化,医生发现了子宫癌症。现在,年仅10岁的肯尼迪面临着子宫切除术和更多治疗的可怕前景。
As she prepared for yet another battle, Kennedy’s spirit began to weaken. Her mother, Jodi Hill Coke, knew her daughter needed something to lift her up and give her hope. Kennedy, a huge Taylor Swift fan, dreamed of attending the pop star’s Eras Tour, but with the tour’s tickets selling for thousands of dollars, it seemed an impossible dream.
当她为另一场战斗做准备时,肯尼迪的精神开始减弱。她的母亲乔迪·希尔·科克知道女儿需要一些东西来鼓舞她,给她希望。肯尼迪是泰勒·斯威夫特的超级粉丝,他曾梦想参加这位流行歌星的世界巡回演唱会,但由于巡演门票售价数千美元,这似乎是一个不可能的梦想。
That’s when the community stepped in. A fund-raising event was launched to help make Kennedy’s dream come true, and the response was overwhelming. Strangers from all over donated more than $16,000, wanting to bring joy to a little girl who has fought so hard for so long.
就在那时,社区介入了。为帮助肯尼迪实现梦想,发起了一场筹款活动,反响热烈。来自世界各地的陌生人捐赠了16000多美元,希望为一个挣扎了这么久的小女孩带来欢乐。
In a touching video, Jodi surprised Kennedy with the tickets. As she handed her daughter the envelope, Jodi told her, “A lot, a lot of people love you very much.” Kennedy’s face lit up with joy as she realized her dream had come true.
在一段感人的视频中,乔迪用门票让肯尼迪大吃一惊。当她把信封递给女儿时,乔迪告诉她:“很多很多人都非常爱你。”肯尼迪意识到自己的梦想已经实现,脸上露出了喜悦的笑容。
Kennedy will be attending Taylor Swift’s concert on November 3. For Kennedy, this isn’t just a concert; it’s a beacon of hope and a reminder that she is surrounded by love and support from countless people who believe in her strength.
肯尼迪将于11月3日出席泰勒·斯威夫特的演唱会。对肯尼迪来说,这不仅仅是一场音乐会;这是一个希望的灯塔,提醒她被无数相信她力量的人的爱和支持所包围。
