Hi, I'm Khadra and I was diagnosed wih osteosarcamo at 17 years old.
My favourite teens unite event was the vent that I attended at Benefit head office. It was such a lovely day and I met so many new people. I learned so many tips on how to achieve a flawless makeup look. It was a relaxing and fun day. I would highly recommend it.
One thing I would tell a person going through cancer is to not compare yourself to anyone, let it be friends, people you know or even people that are diagnosed with the same cancer as you. Always prioritise yourself and the days you’re feeling up to it bring back some of your old hobbies.
A fun fact about me : Chemotherapy was tough for me but one thing I started to enjoy is doing henna. I still do it at times where I want to relax.
Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
I needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
With Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
If it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
