"She's been sick since June 2020," explained her mother Véronique Payette outside their Kirkland home. "She has lymphoblastic leukemia."
Four-year-old Laurence Bourdon is happy and active today, but over the last two years though she struggled, really struggled, according to her parents.
“She’s been sick since June 2020,” explained her mother Véronique Payette outside their Kirkland home. “She has lymphoblastic leukemia.”
She said it has been difficult for the family and the child, especially since she was sick during the height of the pandemic.
It meant that her friends, 7-year-old Lea Salvatore and sister, Myla, 5, couldn’t get to see her. They’re happy now that she’s doing better and decided to put that energy into something positive.
“Because we wanted to help them raise money for the other people that are sick like Laurence,” said Lea.
The sisters told their parents they wanted to help Laurence’s family raise money for cancer research and support.
“They decided that they wanted to help out,” their mother Racha Mounla told Global News, “so they thought, ‘How about we save our money and buy the lemonade and we make a lemonade stand to raise money for the cause.'”
“Because I love her,” Lea pointed out.
