Have you ever faced a moment as a parent when everything changes in an instant? 💔

Hi Neighbor,

Today’s episode is a little different than what you’re used to hearing here. Like Episode 16, this is a t-shirt story—where something ordinary ends up carrying extraordinary meaning.

But while Episode 16 focused on a natural disaster, today’s story is deeply personal. It’s about a young girl and her battle with cancer—and a perspective that far exceeded her years.

Joining me today is my neighbor and brother Simon Harris. He’s going to share a story that has inspired my family and me, and I believe it will inspire you too.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

💪 How Kelsey faced cancer with courage beyond her years

👕 The story behind the T-shirts that became a symbol of hope

❤️ How her perspective influenced her parents and everyone she touched

🌟 Lessons on choosing joy and making a lasting impact, no matter the circumstances

Kelsey’s life reminds us that even in the hardest storms, perspective and joy can ripple far beyond what we ever imagine. 💖

Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way.

Your Neighbor, Tim
