With the help of the Make-A-Wish foundation, a Soldotna family was able to turn a spare bedroom at their parent's house into a personalized movie room for their 8-year-old.
SOLDOTNA, Alaska - From dressing up to singing some of her favorite Disney songs, 8-year-old Hannah Stevens of Soldotna loves everything that has to do with Disney princesses.
Stevens is also a big fan of going to the movies, but when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia — or ALL — in 2019, going to theaters became a dangerous endeavor, magnified even more during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The whole time she was in treatment, it wasn’t safe for her to go to a regular movie theater. She would be exposed to too much, and she loves the movies,” Jennifer Stevens, Hannah’s mom, said.“Popcorn ... soda ... Skittles,” she listed off.
Hannah has battled cancer for over three years. In December 2021, she finished her last round of chemotherapy. Her father said that throughout her treatment, she was a “trooper”, which he links to her Down Syndrome diagnosis. “In her mind, we’re pretty convinced that she thinks every kid goes through this. She doesn’t think that she’s different from any other kiddo,” Glenn Stevens, Hannah’s dad, said.
