SEYMOUR - Nina Poeta, 17, is a cheerleader for Seymour High School and a very special young lady in the Valley community.
Most people in the area know of her battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in November.
The past 10 months have been quite challenging for Nina and her family.
She has undergone radiation, two very delicate surgical procedures, and is currently receiving a second round of chemotherapy.
The community’s love and support has been a blessing to the Poeta family. A fund was set up on Go Fund Me and has raised more than $80,000 to help with the financial challenges they are facing.

A special event is planned for Nina and her family fro, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday (Sept. 25).

We are hoping to have a great turnout to show Nina that she is not alone in this fight. This will be a great way to show your love and support.
Haircuts are $15 and all proceeds will be donated to The Poeta Family Fund.
Oxford Hair Academy and Body Shoppe Salon is located at 153 North St.
