These pieces were created by Everly, a sassy, strong-willed, and expressive toddler living with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). At just 2.5 years old, Everly is currently undergoing chemotherapy for an optic pathway glioma, yet she continues to find ways to create, play, and express herself through art.

"Letters of Hope: END NF" represents the ultimate goal - a world where NF no longer exists. Even in its simplicity, it carries a powerful message of awareness, advocacy, and hope for a cure.

"Letters of Hope: In Motion" reflects the chaos, movement, and unpredictability of life with NF1. The scribbles and lines capture what words often cannot - the constant motion of appointments, emotions, and the unknown, all experienced through the lens of a young child.

"Letters of Hope: Magic in the Fight" brings in imagination and resilience. The unicorn and rainbows represent Everly's spirit - strong, magical, and unbreakable - even in the face of something so heavy. It's a reminder that even during the hardest moments, there is still light, joy, and a little bit of magic.

NF1 has impacted our family in every way - emotionally, physically, and financially. It has changed the course of our daily lives, but it has also shown us a strength we never knew we had. Through it all, Everly continues to lead with joy, curiosity, and resilience. This artwork is more than just art - it's her voice, her fight, and her hope.
