Birthdays mark important milestones in a child’s life.
Her mother, Heather Krings,confirms, This will be her final birthday.
Day by day we lose a little bit more.
But how do you tell a 4-year-old?
It rips your heart out,saysKrings.
This effort quickly spread outside of Wisconsin, collecting attention from other states and even around the world.
Even NFL football player, JJ Watt, who is originally from Pewaukee,sent a letterto Delaney.
Its a little overwhelming, Krings admits.
Shes got so much love pouring in.
Theres no way that we would be able to put her through opening thousands of cards per day.
We pick out a handful and open them for her.
Cards that play music are a favorite.
Her family is asking for help to give Delaney an amazing last birthday on December 16.
People from around the world are sending their love and wishing Delaney a happy 5th birthday.
Happy (early) 5th Birthday Delaney!
From Arizona back home to Pewaukee, I hope you have a fantastic birthday surrounded by family and friends!
