Never Give Up Hope

Sadako Sasaki was a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima who developed leukemia at twelve years old. “Lying in her hospital bed, Sasaki began making origami cranes to fulfill a Japanese legend that a person’s wish could be granted if 1,000 cranes were crafted….   Sasaki’s wish was for world peace and she completed 640 cranes before dying.   Classmates completed the remainder.”   -Marie Strain
