For Szymon’s parents, every day has been a relentless mixture of fear and hope. They have watched him endure surgery after surgery, chemotherapy that leaves him weak and exhausted, and the countless moments in between where hope hangs by a thread. One of the hardest blows came when Szymon lost his
🌟 Refusing to Accept Defeat
When doctors in Poland informed Szymon’s family that there was nothing more they could do, his parents refused to give up. Determined to find a chance for their child, they sought treatment abroad. In Barcelona, surgeons
But neuroblastoma is relentless, and Szymon’s journey continues.

Remembering Millie: Honoring the Precious Life of a Nine-Month-Old Baby Taken Too Soon
Millie loved the little things. The way sunlight danced across her crib. The way her tiny fingers could grasp at anything within reach. She kicked her little feet with joy, squealed with delight at new discoveries, and explored the world with wide-eyed curiosity. Every day was an adventure for her, every moment a chance to learn, to grow, to laugh. 💛
On September 23, 2025, that world was tragically stolen from her. Aziah “Millie” Million-Bell McDougle, just nine months old, was taken in an act of senseless gun violence. Her mother held her close, giving everything she had — love, warmth, comfort — and yet, despite her desperate efforts, Millie passed away in her arms.
The grief is unimaginable. How can words convey the pain of losing a child so young, so full of potential, so brimming with life? Millie had only just begun to discover the world — sitting up on her own, pulling herself to stand, taking her first wobbly steps. She was learning, growing, and sharing joy in ways only a nine-month-old can, leaving behind tiny imprints on the hearts of those who loved her.
Her mother treasures these small but precious memories — the moments of giggles, the tiny grasp of her hand, the first smiles of recognition — even as she mourns the milestones Millie will never reach. The first birthday that will come without her. The first words that will never be spoken. The first steps she will never take. The future that Millie was meant to live, now shattered.
Before this unimaginable tragedy, Millie’s mother was building a life full of promise for her daughter. She was working toward stable housing, returning to her career in healthcare, and creating a loving and safe environment where Millie could grow, thrive, and explore without fear. Every decision, every plan, every effort was made with her daughter’s well-being at heart.
Now, that path has been violently disrupted. Her mother faces a new reality — one of unbearable sorrow, trying to navigate a world without the warmth and laughter of her baby. Every day is a battle between holding on to the memories and facing the cruel absence of what could have been.
Millie’s life, though tragically brief, was full of love. She reminded everyone around her of the beauty in simple joys: a soft coo, the reach of tiny hands, the spark in eyes discovering something new. Though her time was short, the impact she made on her family’s hearts is lasting and profound.
💛 Today, let us hold Millie in our hearts. Let us remember the joy she brought, however brief, and keep her family in our thoughts as they face the difficult road ahead. May her memory inspire love, compassion, and a commitment to protect and cherish the precious lives of children everywhere.
Even in grief, love persists. Millie may have been taken too soon, but her spirit lives on — in the memories she created, in the hearts of those who loved her, and in every act of kindness and care shared in her name.
Millie’s life, though tragically short, reminds us of the fragility and preciousness of every moment. Her story calls on us to cherish the children around us, to embrace love, and to act with kindness every day. Even the smallest gestures — a hug, a smile, a word of comfort — can leave a lasting impact.
Her memory teaches us that while life can be unpredictable and heartbreaking, the love we give and share has the power to endure. Let Millie’s spirit inspire us to protect, nurture, and treasure the lives of those we hold dear, and to never take a single moment for granted.
💛 Though her time was brief, Millie’s light shines on — reminding us to live with love, courage, and compassion.
