Tragic twist of fate as little girl, 6, with cancer dies from unrelated illness

A six-year-old girl from Arizona hit by cancer, who had just received her last attack from Chemotherapy, died tragically after she came up with another, non-related disease.

Lola Zimmer, 6, died of a fungal infection on March 4, five months after she was diagnosed with leukemia.

Her long battle with illness started on October 31, 2024, when she went trick-or-treat with parents, Alyssa Aguilar and Drew Zimmer, and Little Sister, Pheobe.

Shortly after leaving their her house in Flagstaff for an evening from when the young girl 'collapsed'.

“We went out to go trick-or-treat and she collapsed,” her father, Drew Zimmer, told Kpho.

The parents then took their daughter to a nearby first aid before she was 'flown' to the Phoenix Children's Hospital for further treatment.

Within 24 hours of arrival at the Children's Hospital – 150 miles from their house – Lola started on her first round of Chemotherapy, a message shared by Lola's grandmother, Salina Aguilar, reads on Facebook.

A few months later, on 24 February, the kindergarten student completed her second and last, round of chemotherapy – 'the consolidation phase', as her grandmother called it.

“As far as we know, she was cancer -free after completing this second round,” she wrote.

However, when Lola's cancer was finally ready to be investigated again, her doctors delivered the devastating news.

“She was about to have her bone marrow cells tested for cancer cells, but tragically without knowledge of us and the doctors, she had sustained a deadly fungal infection that quickly spread,” Salina said.

Only one day after the doctor's moving discovery said Zimmer that Lola's heart stopped and that she could no longer breathe alone.

“Seeing your daughter on lifestination that no longer responds is really difficult, and then let the doctors tell you that the fungal infection she has is untreatable and has to say goodbye, it is traumatic,” said the desperate father.

Only a few days later the heart-broken family was told that their little girl “would not come.”

“We were told that she wouldn't make it and call our family to say goodbye to our sweet, precious Lola girl,” said her grandmother.

Aguilar suspected that the chemo destroyed the immune system of her daughter.

“I get frustrated and angry that she could have defeated cancer, but she could not have defeated fungal infection,” said Aguilar.

While they process the loss, Zimmer and Aguilar have found a new meaning in butterflies and cherries. Both were symbols of hope connected to Lola and now embody the 'vulnerability of life'.

“Cherish every moment and tell people you love them,” said Zimmer.

“Tell your children that you love them and kiss them goodnight,” Aguilar added.

The brother of Aguilar, AJ Torres, has since created a GoFundMe fundraising to 'support support' and 'alleviating part of the weight' The grieving family must now wear.

Lola's uncle described his niece as a 'powerhouse, an excellent big sister of Phoebe, and an irreplaceable best friend for my son, Myles.'

'She loves animals, plays outside, music, dancing and sometimes they defy authority. She is a force, a precious gift for everyone who knows her and loves her, “he added to the fundraising page.

From Sunday morning they had picked up $ 15,659 of their goal of $ 25,000.
