NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We have a heartbreaking update to share.
7-year-old Jessica Hart, lovingly known as J-Bird has died after her battle with cancer. Hart was diagnosed with Wilms in 2021. It's a cancer of the kidneys.
In September, Amy Watson sat down with the Dover, Tennessee child and her family and spoke about Jessica's battle.
On Monday, she died from the disease.
This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
