HENDERSON,Nev. (May 2022): Like most teens, Shevelle loves electronics and wanted a new PC for her studies and to relax in her free time. Kids Wish Network purchased Shevelle generous BestBuy gift cards so she could shop for her dream computer and still have a lot left over for accessories, a desk, or something special. It’ll be fun for her to pick out everything she’s been wishing for.

Shevelle was born with severe hearing loss in her left ear. Years later, routine checkups turned into a disturbing discovery whether the doctor found nodules on her neck. She saw several specialists, and her biopsies and ultrasounds came back inconclusive. Shevelle underwent a hemithyroidectomy to remove the left side of her thyroid, and further testing of the tissue revealed she had a type of cancer called papillary thyroid carcinoma. The following week she underwent another surgery to remove the rest of her thyroid and her central lymph nodes. Doctors continue to monitor her health. She also has Bluetooth hearing aids to remedy her hearing.

Many Thanks
