Hailey and her twin brother Ryan were born on June 6th, 2006 in Southern California. They were welcomed into their family by their mom Maria, their father Rick and their big sister Heather. Both infants started off their acting careers with roles on shows that most adult actors do not have the privilege of saying they have been on. Their resumes include roles on "Medium", "Standoff", and ABC's top hit show "Grey's Anatomy". Hailey and Ryan were also set to appear on "According to Jim". However, on October 4 2006, a tragic turn of events put their show business careers on hold. The day before Hailey's scheduled tape date for "According to Jim" her mother took her to the pediatrician. At the time, Hailey was a bit pale and had been running a low grade fever... nothing too out of the ordinary for an infant. But her parents wanted to be sure. At her doctor's appointment they were told that Hailey's spleen was enlarged. Her doctor decided to run a few tests and within the hour Hailey was rushed to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles where she was diagnosed with a form of Leukemia known as Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (or ALL). The infant version of ALL is extremely rare - only 1 in 19 million babies get it! Since being diagnosed Hailey has undergone very aggressive chemotherapy and has had several blood transfusions to fight the cancer and help save her life.
 
This of course, has put a tremendous strain on Hailey's family -- both emotionally and financially. With your help, we would like to make the financial burden of this terrible disease one less thing that Hailey's family has to worry about. Hailey's plight was brought to our attention by her agent at Jet Set Models (who is also the Dever girls' agent as well). All of us hope and pray that Hailey fully recovers. And that she gets the chance to grow and become the little star that we know she was born to be so she can share her light with the rest of the world. We also hope that all of you can help make this possible. A portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales and the auction from the "Luau to Fight Leukemia with the Kids of GH" will be donated to her family to assist them with medical and living expenses.
 
If you would like to help further you can go to the "Donate" Page and donate through Paypal. All donations will go directly into a fund set up to help Hailey and her family. Please feel free to email this website to all of your family and friends so they can learn about this beautiful little girl and help her wonderful family out as well.
