But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” (Matthew 19:14/NLT)

HEAVEN’S ANGELS

**FIGHTING FOR TWO CHAMPIONS —** As part of Making Headline News’ advance coverage of **Sarah Jakes Roberts’** inaugural **Woman Evolve Conference** September 14-16 from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, **Rhea Scott** emphasized, among other things, that while it isn’t uncommon for identical twin sons, 10-year-olds **Aden** and Alec O’Connor, to be diagnosed with cancer, it is rare that both have the same exact form. It is due in large part to the slew of obstacles Scott has faced amid of sons’ illnesses that she has become greatly inspired to establish **House of Miracles**, her rising Dallas/Fort Worth-area nonprofit organization designed to assist single parents whose children have been diagnosed with cancer.

LANCASTER, Texas — For Rhea Scott, it is a sometimes perplexing, tear-jerking battle, one she’s destined to endure.

For as long as God allows her to do so.

A single mother of eight, Scott, a devoted, big-hearted nurturer, is steadfastly doing life the best way she knows how, all the while embracing a life-altering journey that has been blind-sided by both of sons battling cancer.

“One of the second worst things a parent can hear is that their child has been diagnosed with cancer,” Scott, a native of Marshall, Texas, told Making Headline News during a weekend interview. “The first is that a second child as it as well.”

**FOR A WORTHY CAUSE —** *An organization that is in its infancy stages and is co-directed by fellow DFW resident **Tiffany Hampton**, House of Miracle also endeavors to aid families of children with major illnesses.*

Aden and Alec O’Connor are 10-year-old identical twins.

Ironically, sharing the same birthday isn’t the only progression they have in common.

Both of these youngsters have been stricken by the same for cancer, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, to put it more precisely.

According to a February 2022 report by WebMD, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia — suitably referred to as ALL — is a type of blood cancer that starts in white blood cells in your bone marrow, the soft inner part of your bones.

Generally, it develops from immature lymphocytes, a kind of white blood cell that’s key to your immune system.

Moreover, ALL is also known as acute lymphocytic leukemia or acute lymphoid leukemia. “Acute,” on the other hand other, means it gets worse quickly. It’s a rare type of leukemia — or blood cancer — in adults, but the most common type in children.

Also, according to WedMD, acute lymphoblastic leukemia invades your blood and can spread to other organs, such as your liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. But it usually doesn’t make tumors like other types of cancer.

As part of Making Headline News’ advance coverage of Sarah Jakes Roberts’ inaugural Woman Evolve Conference September 14-16 from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Scott emphasized, among other things, that while it isn’t uncommon for identical twins to both be diagnosed with cancer, it is rare that both have the same exact form.

Alec, Scott recalls, was diagnosed in 2019, completed his treatment, and “rang the bell cancer free” in August 2022.

Aden, meanwhile, had been tested early on and showed no signs, Scott explained.

“See, this is beast that is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia,” Scott told MHN. “It hides until it doesn’t. By the time Aden was diagnosed June 2023, it had attacked his spleen and his liver, our body’s filtration system. Unlike Alec, who now compared to Aden, flew through his treatment with minimal side effects, Aden has had extreme side effects from the five different forms of chemo used to treat this awful disease.”

BROTHERLY LOVE

**PLEASE DONATE TO THIS NOTABLE CAUSE —** Suitably described as “a champion” for twin sons and other children stricken by cancer, Scott doesn’t shy away from the notion that **House of Miracles** can make a huge difference in the lives of struggling families with the support of the community.

As Scott further explains, such treatment has wrecked Aden’s digestive system, lungs, and left his body frail.

“Whereas Aden was able to spend much of his treatment outpatient,” Scott recalls, Aden has been hospitalized for months.”

It is due in large part to the slew of obstacles Scott has faced amid of sons’ illnesses that she has become greatly inspired to establish House of Miracles, her rising Dallas/Fort Worth-area nonprofit organization designed to assist single parents whose children have been diagnosed with cancer.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to collect donations, which can be made at https://gofund.me/c8ab02e1.

**GOD-ORDERED STEPS —** A single mother of eight, Scott, a devoted, big-hearted nurturer, is steadfastly doing life the best way she knows how, all the while embracing a life-altering journey that is centered largely on both of sons battling cancer.

An organization that is in its infancy stages and is co-directed by fellow DFW resident Tiffany Hampton, House of Miracle also endeavors to aid families of children with major illnesses.

As Scott explained, her organization is in dire need of monetary donations that will help it accomplish its strategic mission.

“While there is help, it isn’t enough to sustain,” Scott told MHN. “When Alec was ill and in treatment, I was able to supplement the family’s income by also working remotely, underwriting mortgages. Due to circumstances associated with the seriousness of Aden’s illness and treatment, this has left our family struggling to keep up with the demands of a large family and supporting a household.”

Suitably described as “a champion” for twin sons and other children stricken by cancer, Scott doesn’t shy away from the notion that House of Miracles can make a huge difference in the lives of struggling families with the support of the community.

“If you give, I promise every little bit will help,” Scott said. “I am a resourceful survivor. As a single mother, my resourcefulness and ability to find a way have always been more than admirable. In situations where others would have buckled and given up, I’ve always risen up and found a way. This time is different, and I’ve been humbled by the extreme demand of two children with a debilitating illness and time-consuming treatment.”

Never mind it is a sometimes perplexing, tear-jerking battle, one she’s destined to endure.

For as long as God allows her to do so.

MOMMY’S SUPER HEROES

**STAYING IN HIGH SPIRITS —** Aden and Alec have been stricken by the same for cancer — Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, to put it more precisely. Regardless, it is sometimes perplexing, tear-jerking battle their mother is destined to endure.
