Azaylia Cain

[LetsGoChamp]

I can’t stop thinking about this poor little girl. My heart hurts for her family. I know she’s not the only child fighting a life threatening illness but she’s all I’ve thought about today.

Sorry if this post upsets anybody that is familiar with this little girl.

@ItsMeMarg ah come on I think calling it ghoulish is abit harsh.
They done a public appeal to find a donor and another appeal to help raise funds so I think its understandable that people are upset and invested in little Azaylias journey.
Its heartbreaking. I won't be made to feel like I'm being ghoulish or over invested for having empathy

What happened with the donor? I wasn't following them then .

@ItsMeMarg ah so by your thinking, when following someone’s journey with a disease when there is no good news left to come then everyone should just stop caring?

Several thousands of people are in a Facebook group talking about her, people on this thread are talking about it, Instagram and the news it’s everyone because it is so sad. It’s not ghoulish for people to be invested in this little girl, it’s not about finding out what’s going on etc because everyone knows the horrible inevitable but Ashley posted a video of Azaylia sleeping in her chair and that to me was comforting to see she looked comfortable.

Just seen safiyyas latest update (just of her cuddling Azaylia on her lap asleep) and the tears are flowing again.
How can life be so cruel to such a beautiful innocent little girl 🤍🤍🤍🤍 I go through waves of sadness and then anger/frustration

@ballsdeep originally they were asking for donors to apply to AN as the chances of her finding a donor was incredibly rare they needed as many people to try as possible. She found one but unfortunately her cancer is so severe and complicated that nothing has worked.

@ballsdeep she had the bone marrow transplant and Azaylia become 100% donor but unfortunately the leukaemia returned, they tried a couple of options to boost the new donor cells to fight off the leukaemia but she relapsed.

@ballsdeep she needed a bone marrow donor but due to her ethnicity they needed to find a specific match which was quite rare, so they done a public appeal to try and get as many people to register to be a donor. They found a match for her but obviously very sadly it didn't take.
The one positive is that thousands nd thousands of people registered in her name, so she will potentially save the lives of so many others

😭 so sad .

She’s the same age as my baby who is lying beside me fast asleep, they were born about 2 weeks apart. I can’t even begin to imagine how they feel, it’s beyond heartbreaking. I find it hard to contemplate it with my baby being the same age, it makes me feel so very sad. Poor baby and poor parents.

I'm glad I found this thread. I echo a lot of posters on here. I have become invested in this heartbreaking situation over the last few months. I wished and wished she would recover but it seems every update gets more heartbreaking. Every time I think about it I cry, I have to do it in private because if my Dh were to ask me why I'm crying I don't think I would be able to talk about it. I can't imagine what they are going through. I keep thinking about that poor baby, what life she should have and deserves. It's just so unfair.
My 6 month old is lying next to me and I can't stop worrying something could happen to her.

Gosh, this little girl is so brave. I was really hoping for a miracle. Have you seen her parents Instagram stories today? She looks ready to rest now. I can't stop thinking about her.

I cannot judge how they deal with this devastating news as I’ve never been in this position, they have had a huge outpouring of support, donations and love from people since they told everyone of their little girl’s condition and I imagine want to share with people how lovely she is while they can.
However, I can’t help but feel some of the people on the grandmothers Facebook support page are being completely out of line with their affirmations and manifestations ‘curing’ her and being convinced she will be ok.

The videos of her in the bouncer are quite sweet, she really is a warrior that girl.

I also don't think anybody can judge them for still wanting to share their daughter with the world, it might just be a small way of them coping. I have however unfollowed that Facebook group as it was too much, one post was about the go fund me and who they should give the money too since Azaylia won't need it now which I thought was appalling at this time.

Ah so happy to see Azaylia in her door bouncer that she loves being in! 😊

@BurnerPhone that is absolutely shocking, how awful if one of the family members were to see that. So distasteful. I've had to unfollow the fb page too as I found it a little too much. I seen the picture of Azaylia in Ashleys arms and someone pointed out where his angel wing tattoo was placed, it looked like Azaylia had wings and it just broke me.

Seeing the video of her in her bouncer really was lovely, the strength in her is unreal.

I have to say I think it's far more distasteful to be coming on this thread being rude and dismissive of those who have been following this little girls story than it is to be keeping an eye on their social media.

like another poster said, there was a wide appeal for donors and then a GoFundMe page which attracted a huge amount of people. so actually, thank goodness for social media in that case, one could only hope to of raised that kind of money in such a small amount of time.

I think its wonderful that so many people have shared their love and support to this family and I hope they feel even a small amount of comfort and that they feel a little less alone. far from it being ghoulish, I think its brave and a reality check to some who dont appreciate the life they have.

it has certainly changed the way I have thought. my daughter is a terrible sleeper and this morning when she woke me up for the 5th time, rather than feeling stressed I thought how lucky am I that i even have the opportunity to do this when many do not.

@Sugarbelle I'm not sure if your comment was aimed at me, but if you read what I wrote, I said it was distasteful for them to all be writing about where the money should now go since Azaylia no longer needs it. I most certainly was not being rude or dismissive.
Also I was the person who wrote the comment about the public appeals.

@MrsDSalvatore no, not at you at all. aimed at that poster who said it was ghoulish and insinuating it was weird for people to be invested in their story.

I dont think you've said anything that was unpleasant??

Please, please, please just leave this thread rather than making distasteful comments. A beautiful little baby girl is dying. There should be no judgement.

I am another mum of a smiler aged child and this story has utterly broken me. Every time I look at my daughter I well up. How those parents have kept their strength and positivity I will never know but I am in awe of them. If they want to put things on social media then they bloody well should go ahead! I have no idea what is going through their heads and how they are still putting one foot in front of the other and I hope to God I never do. It makes you lose faith in the world knowing an innocent baby can suffer so much in her lifetime it’s so cruel and unfair.

I don’t know this family but I am so worried for them after she does pass. What then? They have spent her whole life fighting for her, in and out of hospitals. Everything being about her. I can’t begin to imagine the sheer agony of them waking up in the morning and everything being gone. I’m so very, very sad for them

@Sugarbelle ah my apologies. I think because I had used the word distasteful I thought it was aimed at me.
Yes I agree, it most certainly does make you appreciate what you have

The most recent videos in her bouncer made my morning, her strength is unbelievable🥰

I quickly checked Insta before bed and saw Azaylia in her bouncer and also went to bed with a smile on my face. They are giving that baby so much happiness if this is going to be her last few days on earth
How precious that she gets to remember being at home in her bouncer.
I keep praying for a miracle, it seems unbelievable that someone so beautiful and full of life could be so poorly at the same time.

Wow she is a bright little button this morning on safiyyas stories 🤍🌸 put a smile on my face!

It put a smile on my face too, she truly is fighting. The heart of a lion

@LetsGoChamp aw this has really hit me too, I never get invested in celebrity stuff/people I don't know.. but I can not stop thinking about her and just can not imagine what they're going through. I'm really glad you started this thread as I was starting to feel like I was getting abnormally obsessed and it is so comforting to know that other people are also just as hit.

I think they said they wanted to go home and treat her like a baby, I think they're posting because they would be doing this anyway, like everyone else does with their babies. I think it helps them cope and to feel a little bit of normality. And they want people to see their beautiful baby. I think they're amazing. I can understand why it is uncomfortable for others to watch, but I think we should all just let them act like normal while they still have the strength to.

Been heartbreaking to see the stories today, especially with her family round to see her, think those stories have been deleted now.

But anyway, thank you again I don't feel so strange now for caring so much about people I don't know.
