Support Reynolds High School Sparrow, Arayah N.

Arayah is a happy and energetic five-year-old who is kind to everyone. She loves all things arts  and crafts, especially coloring.  Her favorite color  is pink, and she loves being a “girly girl.”  At the end of February 2022, Arayah had not felt  quite well for several weeks with what seemed  like the flu.  During gymnastics, she complained  that her legs hurt, and she seemed overly pale.

Her parents decided to take her to the doctor.  Within a matter of hours, blood tests came back  revealing Arayah had Leukemia and she was  admitted to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.  Her chemotherapy started the same night along  with multiple blood tests, and a multitude of tests  and procedures.  Arayah’s first phase of chemotherapy consisted of 64 days of in-patient intermittent chemo every  other weekend.  In between all these procedures and treatments, she must endure spinal taps, kidney flushes and  bone marrow biopsies.  So far, the side effects Araya experiences have  been minimal, but her journey isn’t over. She  will continue to fight in the next phase of  treatment as doctors carefully decide what is  best.

Even after everything she has gone through, Arayah is happy, loves to play dress up and play  with her Barbies.  Doctors will monitor her  progress carefully. Right now, she needs  everyone’s love and support.  Arayah will be adopted as a Sparrow to Reynolds High School. Students will work hard  to raise money for Arayah through sponsored  community service.
