PALMETTO, Fla. (WWSB) – A special celebration for a very special little girl in Palmetto. The community, including the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, came together for a party for 5-year-old Coco, as she battles terminal brain cancer.
Coco was a member of the Palmetto Boys and Girls Club, joining over the summer when she turned of age, but since her diagnosis, she hasn’t been able to return.
“She recently joined the Boys and Girls Club over the summer, and it was something that she really wanted to do because her brother was always at the Boys and Girls Club,” said Coco’s mom, Gabrielle Tiedeman. “We wanted to bring that vibe back to her, and the Boys and Girls Club came to visit us offering to host the party. It was like, perfect. She can get those same Boys and Girls Club vibes and just bring everybody together, you know, celebrate her and make her feel special.”…
