After her young daughter’s cancer diagnosis, Racy Copley was looking for support — and didn’t know it was so close.
The guests at Wednesday’s Celebration of Hope breakfast in Campbell — a fundraiser for JW House – are about to be treated to an amazing story about the surprising connection between two families. It’s a tale that would have been appreciated by the teenager who dreamed of creating JW House as a home away from home for families whose kids were undergoing medical treatment.
“For whatever reason she had this expectation that she would meet kids who were going through this, too,” said Copley, who asked the child life specialist on Sophia’s care team if there were any other patients around her age she could talk to. It turns out there was. A 14-year-old named Nicole Keller was also undergoing treatment for bone cancer. Nicole and her mom, Mackenzie Keller, lived just five minutes away from the Copleys in Scotts Valley. The girls met and hit it off immediately.
Racy Copley said her family has stayed overnight in the rooms but often use it as a place to get work done, grab a homecooked meal, do a load of laundry or just spend a few minutes on the exercise bike. It’s also a place of comfort for Mackenzie, too. “She goes over for meals or we’ll bring each other bags of snacks,” she said.
