Myrella is growing in her confidence and self-esteem. She recently discovered “Princess Lily” books, written by Sarah Bankuti, mom of a child with cancer, and an initiative where people could make a donation and then Princess Lily will send books and plushies to kids in hospitals. Myrella really wanted to help, so she sold some of her toys and raised $50, which her mom matched. Myrella was asked if she could help deliver the books and plushies to the POGO clinic (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario) at Peterborough Hospital, which she was delighted to help with.
“Myrella is flourishing as she uses the Heroes Circle breathing techniques to control her pain and stress to overcome shyness,” says Liam Brennan, London Program Coordinator. “She is teaching the world through her kindness and example”.
Myrella truly reflects our mantra: Power, Peace, Purpose. Her increase in confidence and self-esteem empowers her. She shows Peace by using her “Breath Brake” to control her pain and stress, and she brings Purpose as she teaches the world through her example of kindness.
