Cancer attacked her face and made her beautiful face look like a monster, the doctor said that she only had a few months to live. Hearing the verdict, Keke's father did not give up, he fought so that Keke could escape the death sentence. The father's struggle to save his daughter was so moving, Keke, who realized that her life would end, then wrote a small letter to God. God gave a gift in her life, and Keke was able to survive cancer for three years even though she finally gave up.
