Haverford Township has a distinctive green glow these days, writes Alexandria Hoff for for CBS3.com.

The community-wide project was started by a Facebook group called “Light Up Green”.

The green lights are an organized effort to support three local teens and their families struggling with cancer.

“The diagnosis was awful. It was so scary,” Haverford High School freshman Lily Walker said.

“I don’t even have hair. Like it just feels very lonely,” Haverford junior Hannah Hermansen said.

Lily, Hannah and Jack are fighting different  childhood cancers.

The lights take away some of the loneliness of battling cancer, demonstrating support for the teens and for all families with children who are struggling.

“I’m spending most of my time in the hospital and at CHOP and appointments, and no child should have to go through that,” Hannah said.

Lily said she was not expecting so many people to put up green lights.

Local hardware stores have struggled to keep green lights on their shelves.
