Hillary Day describes herself as a survivor who has overcome immense health challenges since 2014 through countless medical procedures and treatments. When she could no longer stand on her own, she found strength and purpose through her faith in God. She now has a "try me" mentality and draws inspiration from supportive family like her mother, grandmother, and younger brother who is now sober. Traveling is one of her passions, and her vision board keeps her motivated toward her dreams.
2. SURVIVOR: a person who copes well with
difficulties in their life.
"she is a born survivor"
Health is something I took for granted until it
was almost taken away from me. This is a
SMALL glimpse into what my life has been
like since 2014. COUNTLESS specialists,
tests/scans/labs/workups, 3 surgeries,
countless medications & treatment, and
regular transfusions. When I couldn't make
sense of what was happening to me, I truly
found myself at a loss. I couldn’t stand on my
own any longer, but I found comfort in going
to church and learning that everything has a
purpose, and there is a reason things happen
the way they do. I started this uphill battle
with a “Why me” mentality. With God’s help, I
know have a “TRY ME” mentality!
“I can do all things
through Christ who
strengthens me”
–Philippians 4:13
3. My younger brother &
his fiancé. We’ll be
celebrating him being
clean and sober for 2
years this summer. I
thank GOD everyday
for helping him turn his
life around, and
sending him a woman
that loves him enough
to help him through it
all.
4. My Vision Board. I made
my first one almost 4 years
ago. I have this sitting in
my front room and it’s a
constant reminder of what
I’m working toward and
keeps me motivated.

6. My mom & grandma are 2 of the
strongest women I know, and my
biggest motivations. No matter how
crazy my ideas have been, they have
always supported me and encouraged
me to believe in myself and follow my
dreams.
7. My grandma, my heart, and my best
friend. She has always believed in me
and has always encourages me to
follow my dreams. I am beyond
Blessed to have been able to celebrate
her birthday at Disneyland. She raised
me for a good portion of my life, and I
will forever be grateful for the time I
have with her, and the memories
8. Wanderlust: a strong desire to travel.
Traveling has always been a passion
of mine. I am always in awe of the
beauty GOD has created. I am
blessed to live at the beach & be able
to enjoy all the world has to offer.
