Tatum Schulte, an 8-year-old girl who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her leg and an area on her spine last December, will have her Make-A-Wish Foundation wish revealed in front of the students of Frenship ISD’s Bennett Elementary.
The Bennett students contributed a donation of almost $9,000 for Tatum’s wish to come true. The school began raising money in February through competitions within the school, including selling pickle pops, penny wars, themed weeks and regular donations.
Schulte’s story spread throughout Texas and other areas of the nation when the cancer was discovered in 2015. Thousands of people began following her story to support her and the Schulte family while she endured treatment and surgery to overcome the cancer.
In September, Schulte was declared cancer free 10 months after the discovery of the osteosarcoma in her leg and spine.
Schulte and her family will be at the reveal on Friday to receive her donation through the Make-A-Wish foundation.
