Gloria Strauss, 11, was diagnosed with a cancer called neuroblastoma four years ago. After riding a medical merry-go-round to fight this illness, Gloria and her parents were told in April that the girl could be down to her final weeks. Gloria doesn't want to go through chemotherapy anymore, so the family has decided to stop cancer treatment. But they haven't given up. From the beginning of this struggle, they have believed God will provide a healing miracle for Gloria. So now, they enjoy life and wait for divine intervention.
