💖 Nahla’s Story: Grace in the Fight

Being a Charleston Elf is more than a kind gesture—it is a commitment to providing a child the full holiday experience they deserve. While you are not required to purchase every single item on their wish list, the expectation is that each Elf provides the child with all of their holiday gifts. We understand that not everyone can take on that level of commitment alone and warmly encourage you to team up with friends, family, or coworkers who would like to make a meaningful impact as well.

Nahla's Story

Four years ago, our daughter Nahla faced a battle that no child should ever have to fight. Cancer came into our lives like a storm—uninvited, unforgiving, and relentless. But Nahla met it with quiet courage and unwavering faith. Today, she is in remission. And while the scars of that fight remain, so does her radiant spirit.
Since finishing treatment, Nahla has blossomed. She’s gained strength, joined the dance team both in and out of school, and fills our home with music, laughter, and love. She adores singing, spending time with her siblings and friends, and most of all, going to church. Her joy is contagious, her faith unshakable.
But the journey hasn’t been easy.
Our family has weathered countless ups and downs—emotionally, physically, and financially. Nahla has four siblings and a niece who live with us, and she’s a constant source of love and support, especially to her brother who is profoundly autistic. She teaches him sign language, helps him navigate the world, and he absolutely adores her. Their bond is something sacred.
Since Nahla’s diagnosis, we’ve faced missed work, mounting appointments, and the daily strain of trying to hold everything together. I took a nine-month break from work to care for Nahla and her younger brothers, both of whom have complex medical needs. I returned to work in September, but had to resign again in October—my youngest son, just three years old, requires multiple weekly therapies including speech, occupational, and ABA. As a single mom with limited help, we’re doing everything we can to stay afloat.
We’re barely making it—but we trust God through it all. His grace has carried us this far, and we believe He’ll continue to provide.
Thank you for all you do for families like ours. Your generosity doesn’t just meet needs—it lifts burdens, restores hope, and reminds us that we’re not alone. From the bottom of our hearts, we truly appreciate you.
