But, she does not allow herself to dwell too long on the negatives. She’s spunky and has learned to cope by keeping herself busy, whether that’s with video games or pulling pranks on her nurses.
Her latest project was a simple message on a few posters in her window for all to see, “PLEASE SEND PIZZA.” Navarrete worked with a child life specialist at Rady Children’s to get the materials, then hung multiple posters in her window facing the street. They are complete with the address and room number: 3010 Children's Way #2138.“You should have seen me, I was super excited,” said Navarrete, who said it was delivered right after a visit from a few members of the San Diego Padres.
Navarrete wishes she knew who the kind person was so she could thank them not only for the tasty food, but also for the hope. She added her favorite pizza place might be a tie between Domino’s and Blaze Pizza, but it isn’t a competition when it comes to her favorite toppings: Hawaiian-style pineapple and ham.
