A Brave Seven-Year-Old Named Courtney: Fighting Cancer with the Brightest Smile and a Faithful Puppy

A Brave Seven-Year-Old Named Courtney: Fighting Cancer with the Brightest Smile and a Faithful Puppy
In the gentle afternoon light spilling through a shop window, seven-year-old Courtney stands with quiet strength, her green headscarf wrapped snugly around her head, framing a face lit up by the purest, most radiant smile. Cradled carefully in her small arms is a fluffy white-and-brown puppy, its curly fur soft against her green jacket, tiny paws resting peacefully as if it knows she needs extra comfort today.
Her big brown eyes look straight ahead with hope and courage far beyond her years, while the words she shares reach out like an open hand: “Hi, my name is Courtney. I am 7 and fighting cancer. Will you pray for me today?”
Every day she battles with the kind of bravery most adults can only dream of, yet here she is — smiling wide, holding her furry friend close, asking not for miracles, but for prayers, for love, for someone to remember her name. That simple request carries so much trust and innocence, it touches every heart that sees it.
Courtney doesn’t fight alone. She has her puppy’s warmth, her family’s endless support, and now — hopefully — a wave of kind thoughts rising around the world for her.
