JERE: A COMMUNITY IS RALLYING AROUND A SICK GIRL. A YORK COUNTY FAMILY IS DEALING WITH A SERIOUS ILLNESS, A TEENAGE DAUGHTER WITH DEBILITATING BONE CANCER AND THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT CARRYING THEM THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE HOPE MALDONADO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. SHE SPENT MUCH OF HER TIME IN THE HOSPITAL OR RESTING AT HOME. IT'S NOT LIKE IT IS EASY, BUT YOU MAKE THE BEST OF IT. JERE: OUR FAMILY HAS BECOME CLOSER OVER THE ORDEAL, AND THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE HOPE STILL MARKS MILESTONES IN HER LIFE. SHE RECENTLY WENT TO HER SCHOOL'S HOMECOMING DANCE WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS. I HAD TO GET MY NAILS DONE. SHE WAS SO JUST UP AND BEAUTIFUL -- SO DRESSED UP AND BEAUTIFUL. IT MADE ME PROUD. JERE: THERE WERE ALSO SURPRISES, LIKE WHEN HER BROTHERS FOOTBALL TEAM -- FOR BROTHER'S FOOTBALL TEAM AIMED HER CLEAN. A BIG SURPRISE FROM HER FATHER'S COWORKERS, THEY BROUGHT LUNCH. THEY SAID HAVE ANOTHER SLICE OF PIZZA AND I SAID I'M GOOD, AND THEN THEY SAID NO, THERE IS ALL THIS MONEY IN THEIR. JERE: IT WAS ABOUT $6,000, ALL PART OF SUPPORT THAT IS MEANT SO MUCH TO HOPE AND HER FAMILY. I LOOK ON THE POSITIVE SIDE. TRY TO HAVE FAITH IN MYSELF. JERE: A STRONG GIRL. SHE SAYS SHE MISSES GOING TO SCHOOL AND SEEING HER FRIENDS AND THAT IS WHY THE HOMECOMING DANCE WAS SO IMPORTANT TO HER. LORI: IT SEEM LIKE SHE WAS FEELING GOOD IN THAT STORY -- IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS FEELING GOOD IN THAT STORY. JERE: YOU HAVE TO GIVE HER CREDIT FOR THAT.
