Redditors answer cancer patient's pleas for pizza
To keep her and her three siblings occupied, mother Lauren Hammersley grabbed some medical tape and decided to make a sign to ask for pizza.

Hazel gets her head shaved for chemotherapy.
Hammersley got the idea to post a message on the window from Hazel's grandmother, who had done something similar when she was in the hospital in her 20s. While she didn't get any pizza, she did have people stop by and say hi.
There was enough pizza to go around to have a pizza party in Hazel's room.
"It was so much fun," Hammersley said. "We got to give back to the nurses. They all got to eat, and then several other children came into the room."
Hazel might have had her fill of pizza that night, but Hammersley said that the young girl is not sick of pizza just yet. The family was coincidentally planning to host a fundraiser at a pizza parlor in their hometown before the pizza shenanigans happened, and they plan to continue to do so.
