Fourteen years ago, Maria Eduarda de Castro Pinheiro was a 7-year-old girl getting treatment for kidney cancer(肾癌) at Hospital Brasília in Brazil. The regimen was successful, and she grew up to become a ballet(芭蕾) teacher! Even after all this time, she has never forgotten the care and kindness that she experienced in the hospital.
Maria has always wanted to return to thank the staff members and encourage the kids who are now receiving cancer treatment. At 21, she finally did just that! “I dreamed of this for a long time,” she said. “I always felt very grateful for them healing me and wanted to bring hope and encouragement to children who are in the same situation as I was once.”
Luckily, she met a friend whose mother works in the hospital. “I talked about my story and my dream of returning,” Maria said. “She made it possible.” So Maria visited them as a ballet dancer and danced to parts of “Swan Lake” as caregivers(护理人员) and patients looked on in admiration. We’re sure her talent and good health brought hope to everyone there that day!
