"" They say the best things come in small
packages, but in little 2-year-old Hazel
Hammersley’s case, they come in the form
of at least 20 pizzas surprising you in your
hospital room when you wake up from a
nap.
Hazel, who has been in the oncology
department at Children’s Hospital Los
Angeles since July 4, was diagnosed with
high-risk stage 3 neuroblastoma in April,
and has been in the hospital fighting to
regain her white blood cell count in order
to be released.
“We generally have a pretty good time
here,” Hazel’s mother, Lauren Hammersley,
told GoodMorningAmerica.com. “They have
the playroom here on the floor, which she
loves, and I bring bags of toys and things.
But after some time, you get a little stir
crazy.”

Books to Kids in Hospital
So one day, while Hazel’s grandmother was
visiting, they came up with the idea to tape
a silly message in the window of her
hospital room, something her grandma had
done years ago when she was admitted in
the hospital.
The family jokingly taped the message,
“SEND PIZZA RM 4112,” onto the window
by Hazel’s bed, not really expecting
anything to come from it.
“Hazel was trying to wave to people in the
street and nobody waved back, so we
thought this was a fun way to just pass the
time,” Hammersley said. “We thought it
would be fun and put a smile on someone’s
face. We never expected to get any pizza.”
And for a few days, they didn’t get any
pizza.
But on July 13, several days after they
posted the silly note, a passerby happened
to see the message in the window, snap a
photo of it and post it to Reddit. Users of the
social media site quickly caught on, flooding
Hazel’s room with pizzas, well wishes and
hopes for her speedy recovery.
“It’s incredible, the outpouring of support
we’ve received. It’s just so humbling,” said
Hammersley. “The last time I spoke to the
security guards, at 8 p.m. on Saturday,
more than 20 pizzas had been delivered.
They started just distributing them to the
nursing staff and all the other kids on the
floor.”

Hospital Patients a Superhero Surprise
Once she was awoken from her nap by the
smells of sizzling cheese pizza, Hazel had a
huge pizza party in her room with all the
other children she’s befriended during her
stay.
“I keep saying God has been so faithful to
provide us a lot of help, and it’s these
moments that present us with a lot of
hope,” Hammersley said. “It brings so much
joy to my daughter, and to be able to give
back to the nurses who have been so
incredible to her. We’ve just been so
touched by everything.”
Hammersley is unsure how long Hazel will
need to remain in the hospital, but said
thanks for all the excitement she’s had
recently.
“At the moment,” Hammersley said, “she’s
doing really well.”
