Beginning in 2015, the girls went through the most difficult situation in their short lives as they were diagnosed with cancer and were fighting the battle in the previously mentioned Florida hospital.

In the pictures that People uploaded, all four girls were in the lobby of the hospital playing with each other. Alyssa Luciano, Ava’s mother, revealed that they were all in active treatment when that picture was taken.

While Chloe suffered from a rare form of lung cancer, McKinley, Ava, and Lauren had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. McKinley revealed that they became friends because their “blood was sick.”

McKinley’s mother, Karen Moore, pointed out that it was always good to see familiar faces as it helped her daughter understand that she was not alone in such a tough journey.

REMISSION

The final member of the camaraderie who completed the treatment was Lauren (September 10). At the moment, the girls, all between the ages of 4 and 5, are in remission.

“It’s been an absolute joy to see them grow and to see them outside of the hospital setting, being the kids they should have been all along. This should never have happened to them,” said Dr. Charlie Moore, who treated all four girls.
