Nurse Sings ‘A Whole New World’ to 5-Year-Old with Leukemia – People Magazine

A patient like Sophia Torres deserves a nurse like Brandon.

Torres, just 4 years old, was diagnosed last May with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Her family has actually been chronicling her journey on a Facebook page called Sophia’s Odyssey, and you can donate to her ongoing medical expenses here.

One advantage Sophia has actually in her corner? Her nurse, Brandon, at Houston’s Texas Children’s Hospital.

Sophia’s dad filmed Brandon singing the Aladdin classic, “A Whole Brand-new World,” to her as she sits in her wheelchair, a sight that’s sure to warm even the coldest of hearts. And there’s no doubt it helped Sophia’s spirits immeasurably.

Sophia’s family is also selling “Team Sophia” shirts, with all proceeds going directly to her medical funds. You can buy one here.
