When Daisy Anguiano Miranda walked into the lobby of Nebraska Medicine in Omaha and saw hundreds of birthday cards and gifts, she couldn't believe what was in front of her.
"I looked shocked and wanted to faint, but I knew I couldn't," she said. "I'm so happy." Strangers from across the United States sent Anguiano Miranda presents as part of a campaign called "Daisies for Daisy," started by Ashli Brehm. Brehm, a breast cancer survivor, met Anguiano Miranda during treatment, and when she discovered the child had been diagnosed for the second time with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare bone cancer, she wanted to do something special for her.
