Monika Romo, a 10-year-old Vallejo, California, cancer patient, is going to be dubbed “Wonder Girl”--similar to last month’s “Batkid.”
Romo will be surprised by by volunteers at her home and will aid her in a “Wonder Girl”-type adventure around Vallejo, located in San Francisco’s Bay Area, reported ABC-7.
Romo was diagnosed with leukemia several years ago.
“She has a lot of fear, but she tries to live day-by-day,” Alejandra Romo, her mother, told the Times Herald. “She’s a fighter — she’s been through a lot. She tries really hard to live her normal life. She doesn’t ask, ‘why me, what for?' ”
Her cancer is in remission and she is currently undergoing chemotherapy, said CBS.
“Somebody who has these struggles that she’s going through currently…what a messenger. We’re just very excited to hear what she has to say,” Superintendent Ramona Bishop of the Vallejo City Unified School District told the station.
Last month, Miles Scott, a 5-year-old cancer patient, had his Make-A-Wish granted, turning into “Batkid” for a day.
