Alicia Flores | The Light They Bring
Story 189

There is a kind of light that comes from within.
A steady, quiet glow that lives in the heart.

This is the light Alicia shares with cancer patients at Adventist Health.

A first infusion appointment can feel like a first step into the unknown.
But Alicia walks beside them.
She answers their questions.
She gives them her time.

Her light quiets fears and softens worries.

She prepares patients for what to expect and ensures they’ll be cared for.
Blankets warm them.
Snacks comfort them.
Alicia’s presence reminds them they are never alone.

Alicia’s light strengthens spirits.
Alicia’s light offers courage.
Alicia’s light brings hope to the places where hope is needed most.

Here, healing blossoms, warmed by Alicia’s light from within.
