Doctors saved her life. Now, this 14-year-old Baton Rouge teen is giving back

At just 14 years old, Baton Rouge teenager Bella Cervantes is giving back to the hospital that saved her life, and helping other children battling cancer along the way. Baton Rouge teenager, Bella Cervantes, is founder of Brave Bella Bead Co., a jewelry business she runs with her mother, Robin Caronna. The business, which started as a way to help her parents pay for her braces, has since grown beyond its original goal and includes a portion of sales supporting childhood cancer awareness and research. Cervante was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at age 2, a rare eye cancer that develops in the retina. Her doctors at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital removed her right eye to eliminate the cancer, and she now wears a prosthetic eye painted like a soccer ball.
