Agents Of Special Moments For Kids With Osteosarcoma

Those who work for Team Reba real estate became special agents of happiness.

Making life better for kids with cancer is a worthy mission. That's actually the mission of MIB AGENTS (Make It Better For Kids With Cancer). Focusing specifically on kids with osteosarcoma, this organization pairs survivors of cancer treatment with youngsters newly diagnosed. It offers support, comfort, entertainment for treatment and recovery, along with end-of-life experiences after all treatment options have been exhausted.

One of the special activities of MIB Agents is creating a Can Do! video that can be shown to those newly diagnosed and offering them hope. Most of those who are diagnosed end up having limb amputation, lumbar spinal stenosis surgery, or a rotationplasty. Each type of surgery changes life for the involved individual, sometimes limiting ability to move.



The video provides footage of those who made it through one of these surgeries, along with activities in which they engage. It gives a can-do message, that even after life-altering surgery, a child can still participate actively in life. The deadline for submission is coming up quickly, July 10, so those wanting to participate need to get ready and submit. The criteria are in the top article on this page: http://www.mibagents.org/press--videos.html.

Another type of special service that is performed by MIB Agents is providing additional support in special cases. 15 year old Victoria faced two challenges, both osteosarcoma and Down Syndrome. Even so, before her diagnosis with osteosarcoma, she was a champion surfer, which she was able to continue, even after her left leg was amputated above the knee.

The collection box that held hope and support for Victoria.

However. she did need some cheering up, and just in time came a package delivered just for her. Now, Victoria has always liked items associated with the sea, especially mermaids. And that very special package just for her contained items specific to her likes - mermaids - on pillows, on jewelry, on cards, on plaques, on stickers. She even received some coloring pages and colored pencils. That certainly made her smile! Now, she's back to the surf she likes so much, complete with waterproof prosthesis. She's out there waiting for that scoring, special wave.

Mission accomplished, to cheer up Victoria and give her some special cards and gifts.

This organization reminds a person of how good you have it, but also offers opportunities to help these kids, who have received an overwhelming diagnosis. It gives them hope and support when they need it, and even provides special support when their lives aren't going so well. Brave, capable, in the fight of their lives, these kids will inspire with their persistence and courage in their fight to live another day and enjoy life.
