Bella shared her story with millions of followers on TikTok, with the help of her mother Kyla Thomson, documenting her life and health journey.

The girl from Swift Current, Saskatchewan, was born with dwarfism, a deficient immune system and other health problems that left her in and out of hospital for years.

In late 2023, Bella underwent a life-saving intestinal transplant and spent four months in hospital recovering.

Bella died on July 14, after being placed in a medically induced coma at SickKids Hospital in Toronto for a week before her passing.

In May, Bella was taken to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. She was later flown to Toronto after suffering from nighttime fevers and being put on oxygen for more than a month. In late June, she was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit.
