The Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope with assistance by Alexis, Alyssa’s cousin, held a percussion music event on Saturday, January 18, 2020 at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) East near All Children’s Hospital Johns Hopkins in St. Petersburg, FL for the young patients and their families staying at the RMH.
A variety of percussion instruments such as the music triangle, music sticks, two-tone wooden block, tambourine, maracas, xylophone and Spanish castanets were brought so the patients and their families could enjoy.
As we were setting up the musical instruments in the Bubble Room, young patients staying at the RMH started coming over and quickly started playing some of the percussion instruments they liked. The children made different sounds with the instruments and expressed their joy with the smiles on their faces.
We are ever thankful for the opportunity to share Alyssa’s love for music with these young patients and their families as they go through their own medical journey.
