Handprint
series created by Amy

This card is part of a set by 5-year-old cancer survivor Amy Morkovsky, a testament to her bravery and resilience. Amy was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 2. With her family by her side during numerous treatments and blood transfusions, Amy found her love for art. Three years later, Amy had grown into a beautiful and lively little 5-year-old who was able to “ring the bell” announcing she was cancer-free.
