'Okvath Family and University Medical Center'
An eight-year-old girl with cancer makes a selfless request that a children's hospital ward be made over. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition grants her wish while also secretly transforming her family's house! See Disney VoluntEARS work their magic on the Bone Marrow Transplant Ward at University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona.

Kassandra Okvath, who lives with her family in Gilbert, Arizona, has battled cancer since doctors discovered a tumor in her kidney in 2003. While Kassandra was fighting for her life, her mother, Nichol, moved from their home to be nearer her daughter. Meanwhile Kassandra's father, Bryan, lost his truck-driving job for missing work during his daughter's illness.

In the video she sent to the show's producers, Kassandra's simple, selfless request was that she wished that the children struggling with illness at the University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona -- where she has been receiving treatment -- might be given something very special. She asked if the walls of the hospital could be painted for sick kids because, as she said, 'Sometimes that's the last things they see.'

Yeah, this one is going to be a good one, very moving. I just can't watch because I get too emotional.

I thought it was fantastic. I was hysterical when the big wigs said they will take care of their mortgage.

It was a really really good episode.

On Saturday night, I went to Napper Tandy's for the St. Baldrick's Fundraiser -

check this out www.stbaldricks.org

People get sponsered to shave their heads to make $$$ to find a cure for cancer.

After seeing sooooo much love and outreach on Saturday, I was bawling after seeing it on Sunday too!!!

That book was absolutely beautiful....
