Just weeks ago, Jasmine’s future was hanging by a thread.
An emergency surgery saved her life — doctors were forced to amputate a leg that would not stop growing, crushing her organs and stealing her childhood.
In a single day, Jasmine became 174 pounds lighter.
The pain. The fear. The pressure her body endured — everything changed in an instant.
This Christmas didn’t look like the ones she once dreamed of.
There was no living room floor, no running shoes by the door.
Instead, there was a hospital room. Wrapped gifts. A walker.
And yet… it was filled with something far greater than tradition — it was filled with life.
“Our greatest gift was Jasmine,” her sister Anastashia shared.
“Being able to celebrate again with her.”
Jasmine opened presents. She laughed with her family. She took more steps toward independence — literally — learning how to move through a brand-new world, one careful step at a time.
She’s getting stronger.
She’s smiling more.
She’s finding “normal” again — slowly, bravely, courageously.
As the New Year approaches, Jasmine is reading every message sent her way. If you have a moment, leave her one — something filled with hope, healing, and belief in all that’s still ahead.
🙏 This is what survival looks like.
And this… is only the beginning.
