According to Phoenix’s GoFundMe page, she has to undergo four rounds of chemotherapy and last week was when she finished her first round.

On August 2, she had been diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), which is a cancer that begins in a person’s blood stem cells.

While in her hospital room, a nurse came by and told Phoenix and her mom that a volunteer dropped off a few dresses and that Phoenix could have one.

Phoenix chose a yellow dress.

Moments later, Phoenix’s dad came into her hospital room wearing a suit and asked her if he could dance with her.
