Claire Elizabeth Hernandez was born on May 26th, 2015 prematurely at 27 weeks.  She weighed just 3lbs, 1oz, and spent the first 75 days in the NICU.  At 18-months-old, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and has shown strength throughout her entire life.

In the Summer of 2019, Claire’s eyes became crossed, lost her balance, and lost control of her arms and legs.  On July 2, 2019, her parents received the heartbreaking diagnosis of DIPG and were told she had 9 to 15 months left to live.  Claire had 33 sessions of radiation, countless doctor visits, Avastin treatments, pokes and pricks, numerous MRIs, and ultrasounds. 

On February 28, 2020 at 4-years-old, Claire was called home to her heavenly Father while in the arms of her Mother and Father surrounded by family and loved ones.  During her brief time on Earth, even though this little angel was only passing through, she radiated joy and happiness.  Her light will continue to shine brightly from Heaven.
