About Leah - by her family
Leah was pure light—vibrant, creative, witty, and endlessly curious. At just 13, she left an indelible mark through her art, her humor, and her love for those around her. From running a successful Etsy shop during treatment to excelling in school and filling her family’s lives with joy, Leah lived with a passion and brilliance far greater than her years. Cancer touched her life, but it never defined her—her spirit, love, and creativity always shone brighter. We are honored to share Leah’s story with the world. Her legacy continues to inspire, uplift, and remind us of the beauty of love, creativity, and resilience. We invite you to hear more about Leah’s life, her impact, and how we are carrying her light forward by listening to the audio below.
Leah and her family
Leah's cancer story
In July 2022, 12-year-old Leah was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare and aggressive form of childhood brain cancer. Though DIPG accounts for only 10–20% of pediatric brain tumors, it is one of the most devastating, most often striking children between the ages of 5 and 10, but it can affect anyone—even adults. Over the course of 17 months, Leah faced radiation, surgery, therapies, and clinical trials with extraordinary courage. In the midst of treatment, she discovered comfort and joy in crafting, eventually launching her own Etsy shop, LIVArtsandCrafts. On January 6, 2024—just days before her 14th birthday—Leah’s battle came to an end. Her family now carries forward her spirit, creativity, and strength through this nonprofit organization, honoring Leah’s legacy and bringing hope to others.
