Alyssa Starter Art Kits (SAKs) were received by Mia DeRoin, Child Life Specialist in the PEDS/PICU department at CDH hospital on Friday, March 5, 2020. The art kits will be given to young people going through life-threatening illnesses. There were an assortment of Alyssa SAKs including coloring book kits, journal kits, copic marker kits, assorted color pencils kits, watercolor and acrylic paint kits.
Mia shared that a young cancer patient remembered the beautiful art package given to her from Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope and had a great time using the art materials while in treatment.
We have learned that these kits are truly appreciated by the young patients who are happy to have the creative outlet while facing serious health challenges. It allows them to express themselves and let go of their concerns while making something beautiful that they and their families can cherish.
We are very happy to provide these small gifts in memory of our precious daughter, Alyssa, and her passion for art, music, and life.
