March 2025 Update

“Muqaddim was able to ring his Bell [on March 4], ending his 2nd fight with cancer. All of our family lives in Philadelphia. So I set up a zoom link sooo family who couldn’t make it was able to watch over zoom. Some family was able to drive down for the day. It was truly the best day ever. Muqaddim was so happy to feel the love he was smiling alllll day.”
