In December 2015, my 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare form of pediatric cancer. Due to her frequent stays in the hospital, I was forced to take time off from my full time job as an elementary teacher. Although our days are filled with doctor appointments and hospital stays, quitting my job has allowed me more time to focus on my family and do things I truly enjoy. Throughout her treatments, my daughter and I spent a lot of time together in the hospital and doing crafts and making things was something we both enjoyed. By opening this store, we hope that we can help others who may be going through a journey similar to ours. A portion of all proceeds from Maddie Strong Studios will be donated directly to pediatric cancer patients, charities and/or pediatric cancer organizations.
