A community(社区) came together to celebrate Halloween early for a 5-year-old boy fighting cancer.
Alex got cancer when he was 11 months old. He has been fighting the fight for the last 4 and a half years. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario with his parents Nick and Kira, his brother Mike and his sister Jane.
Two weeks ago, the family got devastating news. Doctors said Alex only has a few weeks to live. Nick and Kira wanted to make his remaining(剩余的) time as meaningful as possible so they asked him if there was anything that he wished to do. He said he wanted to see monsters(怪兽) in Niagara Falls, but at this point, it was not good for him to travel that far. That’s when Paula Tzouanakis Anderson, a close friend of the family, came up with a plan to bring Halloween and monsters to them.
Paula posted in a Facebook group, asking the community to show up in costume. The post soon became popular. On the day of the event—Sept. 14—Paula expected 300 people to come, at most. But as the evening progressed, probably close to 1,000 people showed up.
Nick said during the most terrible point in his life, he and his family are feeling gratitude(感激之情) for all of the love. “We’re very happy to live in a community like this,” he said.
