To All Colorado Cancer Survivors:

Little nine year-old Dalton, my new neighbor, is going to attend Belmar Elementary School in Lakewood, Colorado. He will need an IEP, a private tutor whose a grade school teacher and survivor of cancer herself. The reason for this is because he has survived a year of chemotherapy, radiation treatments, for a form of osteosarcoma.

He will need physical therapy, and a compassionate, small classroom, with less than ten children to two teachers. This will require a community effort of empathetic cancer survivors who are excellent mothers from poor, Southern backgrounds.
