Neighborhood does Halloween again for girl with cancer
While many people are planning for Thanksgiving dinners next week, in one Texas neighborhood it's October 31 for one special dinosaur.
8-year-old Willow Kreitz stands out in the crowd of superheroes and transformers. She missed Halloween with her friends this year because she was in the hospital battling leukemia.
"It's not good at all," Kreitz said. "It's sometimes painful."
Missing her favorite holiday was hard, but when there's a will, there's a way for Willow. Her dad made an amazing T-Rex costume while she was still in the hospital, and classmates and their parents got a while neighborhood on board to hand out candy.
"She just deserves it, you know?" said Lori Kliebert, the mother of one of Willow's classmates. "Everything she's been through and having to miss things."
And so they set the clock back to a few weeks ago, all so this brave little dinosaur could stomp down the street and get candy with her friends.
Willow knows at too young an age, sometimes life can be hard. But she also learned that sometime, people come through for you.
"I feel it in God, and I feel it in all my friends," Willow said.
