McALLEN, Texas –13-year-old Leukemia Patient, Chloe Villegas, was born with the gift of music. A gift that has gotten her through her treatment since her diagnosis earlier last year. Performing usually to judges, crowds, and her family, Chloe takes the stage for a different audience now: her fellow patients and the Rio Grande Valley.
Chloe is known to sing regularly around the Vannie E. Cook Jr. Children’s Cancer and Hematology Clinic; however, last Wednesday, during her regularly scheduled checkup, she came prepared with something special.
“Her two brothers, mom, and grandmother accompanied her for Wednesday’s treatment, and they put on a special performance for the clinic.” Writes Yadhira Huerta, Social Worker for the Vannie Cook Clinic, “This family uses music as a way to cope with the situation that they are in.”

Chloe’s family is known to be musical, with her Grandmother being part of the renowned Tejano Music Walk of Fame Band “Los Hermanos Layton,” a Tejano/Tex Mex band popular in the United States throughout the early 60’s and 70’s.
Chloe is participating this year as a patient ambassador for the clinic in its fundraising efforts for their 2026 Radiothon.
