The Light One Little Candle Story
Joelle Pauporte, a young mother, doctor, and cancer patient, started the Light One Little Candle Foundation. It was her wish that other adults with cancer find the same comfort and joy with their children that she experienced with her daughter through reading classic and funny stories.
