Community throws parade for cancer patient
A California neighborhood came together to throw a parade for a 15-year-old cancer patient. who had just finished her last round of chemotherapy, BuzzFeed reports. On March 24, Courtney “Coco” Johnson, of Pasadena, completed her final chemotherapy session at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Johnson left the hospital under the impression that only some members of the staff, along with her immediate family, would see her off. Her mother’s friend, Sonia Singla, however, came up with the idea of a “reverse parade” . She gathered some of Johnson’s loved ones, who drove to Johnson’s street, parked their cars and waited for Johnson to pass by and say hi. The mother was able to capture her daughter’s reaction on camera and eventually shared the video on Twitter, where it has received 4.1 million views. “I wasn’t expecting anything, and I was just so surprised and grateful that everyone showed up to celebrate me"
