2-year-old cancer patient gets dozens of pizzas

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -

Children's Hospital Los Angeles was overwhelmed with pizza deliveries from good Samaritans on Saturday for a 2-year-old battling cancer.

It all started after a Redditor snapped a photo of an amusing message posted on a patient's window: SEND PIZZA RM 4112.

The room belongs to Hazel Hammersley, who is battling neuroblastoma, a rare type of cancer that develops in infants and young children.

On the family's blog, Hazel's mother Lauren explained that she and the girl's grandmother put up the message with hospital tape as something fun and silly.

"This sign was up for several days without even a single phone call asking to send up a pizza (which we completely expected!)," she said.

At least get those girls pizza's from companies that will support their medical needs instead of the ones who would cut employees health coverage if they could. And that pizza looks terrible. I'm glad the girls enjoyed it, but please, let's use businesses that support health care for all.
