蘿拉 (Laura Ruffino) 與 伊莉莎白 (Elizabeth Diamond) 從小學五年級開始就一直是最好的朋友。因此,當伊莉莎白因腦癌過世後,蘿拉做了一個偉大的決定:領養伊莉莎白的4個小女兒。

蘿拉說,她跟伊莉莎白從小就是最好的朋友,她們在一起時總是過的非常開心。當身為單親媽媽的伊莉莎白在2014年被診斷出腦癌末期時,她問蘿拉,如果她離開了,蘿拉願不願意照顧她的4位小女兒。蘿拉立刻就答應了。

New York resident Laura Ruffino told WKBW that she became best friends with Elizabeth Diamond in fifth grade. "No matter where we were, we always had fun," she said.

蘿拉說:「當伊莉莎白開始越來越衰弱時,你可以想像我有多擔心她的4個小女兒,如果沒有了媽媽會怎麼辦。」

伊莉莎白在今年4月不幸過世。蘿拉與他的老公,還有2位女兒,都立刻歡迎伊莉莎白的女兒們與他們同住。 

In 2014, Diamond was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. The single mom of four daughters asked Ruffino if she would take her children if something happened, and Ruffino said she instantly said yes.

現在,許多人開始一起努力,希望可以幫助蘿拉一家人,在財務上能更穩定,才能更好的照顧她們新加入的成員們。 

After fighting the disease for months, Diamond passed away in April. Shortly after her death, Ruffino, her husband, Rico, and their two daughters welcomed Diamond's girls into their home.

伊莉莎白在過世前與雷貝卡 (Rebecca Joy Lesniak) 一起創立了一個幫助癌症病患的非營利組織。雷貝卡說,她曾答應伊莉莎白,要繼續執行她的理念,去幫助更多需要幫助的人。她說:「我答應伊莉莎白,她不會被忘記」。 

Now, their upstate New York community is working together to help the Ruffino family financially adjust to their new additions.

雷貝卡與其他組織成員成立了募款頁面,希望可以幫助蘿拉一家人。而這個感人的故事很快地就在網路上傳開,募款的款項也已經累積到大約75萬 (美金$24,000)。 

Lesniak and the rest of the center decided to set up an online fundraiser to help support the Ruffino family, and the family's story soon spread throughout the web. To date, the center's efforts have raised $24,000.

雷貝卡說她很驚訝這個故事這麼快就傳遍了全國。她相信,這是可能是伊莉莎白繼續在影響這個世界的徵兆。

 

羅拉一家人目前還在努力的調適新生活。蘿拉的老公說,10年前他完全沒想過他的人生會是這樣,但是當你遇到了挑戰,就要勇於接受並做到最好。

As for the family, they're adjusting as best as they can. "Ten years ago, I didn’t think this would be my life," Rico Ruffino told WKBW. "But if something gets thrown at you, just accept the challenge and do the best you can."
