When the Bruno family was in the thick of it with their daughter Holly fighting through the final stages of her battle with cancer, their community wanted to help.
When Heidi was asked how they could help, she mentioned that they could help take care of some yard work that needed a little TLC as they were spending a lot of time at the hospital for Holly's treatments. What happened next was incredibly heartwarming and beautiful.
A few days later, 50 to 100 people showed up to their front yard and completely transformed it, going above and beyond anything that Heidi or her family could have ever imagined.
But this work was about so much more than their yard: it was an incredible outpouring of love from a community that just wanted to help and serve a family going through incredible hardship.
Since then, Holly's beautiful and brave spirit has been kept alive by her family, who have done everything to spread the message that "love is everywhere." This message, their battle cry, was created by Holly herself during one of her hospital stays. Despite everything she was going through, their little girl couldn't help but see the love and joy that surrounded her.
Creating space for parents who have lost a child to share their stories on this podcast has been the most fulfilling part of this project. And even though today's story is emotional, I hope this conversation will fill your cup with hope and gratitude. Heidi shares lessons about the power of serving others and letting others serve you.
I hope you'll enjoy hearing the beautiful story of Holly Bruno. The energetic, adventure-loving, and fiercely loyal little girl who lost her battle with a rare soft tissue tumor but started an incredible movement that has helped others see the joy in their journey.
