Remembering Ansu

Dear friends, we have received the heartbreaking news that our dear Ansu Shrestha passed away earlier today.
8-year-old Ansu was a fighter. She along with her family fought bone cancer every day. For a couple of months Ansu has had a fever, low blood counts, and a hard time walking.
Our delightful Ansu joined us as our 38th Leo’s Kid in March of 2021 and we were so thankful for the opportunity to get to know her and her family and for the support you all gave her during her treatment.
Precious Ansu is leaving behind her mom, dad, and older brother along with other relatives and friends.
We extend our love and deepest condolences to Ansu’s parents as they remember their unforgettable and beautiful little daughter. Ansu was a brave and talented little girl, a wonderful daughter, a sweet sister to her brother, a kind friend to our Leo’s Kids, and so much more.
Dear Ansu, we will work to honor your memory by giving other children like you a chance to fight their cancer and a chance to have hope.
