\"4-year-old<\/p>\n

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A Valley girl who had been battling leukemia has died, her family confirmed.<\/p>\n

Gloria Salas passed away on April 18. She was first diagnosed with cancer at the age of 2 and relapsed last year at the age of 4.<\/p>\n

Action News previously featured Gloria and her family during last year’s Pint for a Pint blood drive<\/a>, highlighting their efforts to raise awareness about the need for blood donations.<\/p>\n

When you give blood at the Pint For A Pint Blood Drive, you don’t always put a face to the people you are helping.<\/p>\n

Her parents said they became aware of the shortage while taking Gloria to medical appointments, when blood was not always available for her treatment.<\/p>\n

In response, the family began advocating for blood donations and hosted their own blood drive at Valley Children’s Hospital in December.<\/p>\n

The family is now raising money to help cover funeral expenses. If you’d like to donate, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n
