Just like in Stranger Things Torri has a community of people surrounding her so that she is not fighting this battle alone. Torri and her family are all so grateful for the love and support being shown. The support comes in all sizes, shapes, and types but is appreciated no matter what it looks like. Some of the most healing therapy is to be surrounded by those who love Torri. Here is a list of a few supporters that should be thanked (in no particular order ;))


~Family - so many cards, well wishes, prayers, meal making, providing breaks for the caregivers, and LOVE. You can't be thanked enough!

~Friends - Sending treats/cards, making visits, planning things to show support and encouragement. But most of all, just being present.

~Southwest Cancer Center (Dr. Haslem & staff- Medical Oncology, Dr. Donaldson & staff - Radiation Oncology, Dr. Nygaard - Pediatrician

The Hawkins Community Thanks You!

, DRMC Infusion clinic and their multi-disciplinary team, and DRMC Imaging staff). Thank you for treating Torri and her family like they are the only patients you have and that they are your top priority.

~Intermountain Home-care Nurses, Intermountain Home-care Pharmacy, and Intermountain Enteral (GI Feeding) Team. Because of your services and attention to detail Torri has been able to do ALL her treatments outpatient. The ONLY hospitalization thus far was for Central Line and G-Tube placement at PCH and this is because of your support, trust, and knowledge to arm Torri's family with all things necessary to treat at home!

~Washington County Search and Rescue Team who put together a fundraiser without the families knowledge and brought Michael to tears.

~Dixie Regional Medical Center Emergency Department (Teresa Chivers) who designed a T-shirt to show support for Childhood Cancer Awareness and their support for Torri and her family which brought Cami to tears.

~Tuacahn High School Leadership, Counselors, and Staff: Torri has only been able to attend 50% of school in-person (or maybe even less). The instructors are aware of her condition and have been pretty good about sending home assignments for Torri to work on when she is able, allowing her to turn projects and assignments in late, allowing a friend to stand in a present her project when Torri couldn't physically do it her self. (Not sure how but she ended the quarter with 8 A's!)
