50 Alyssa Starter Art Kits (SAKs) were delivered to the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) near Loyola Hospital in Hines, IL on January 26, 2022. JP, a young patient & friend of Alyssa’s foundation helped Yoli to deliver the Alyssa SAKs. JP stayed at this RMH prior to his surgery at Shriners Hospitals for Children-Chicago. The Alyssa SAKs donated included coloring book kits, journal kits, drawing kits, acrylic and watercolor paint kits, pencil pads and color marker art kits. The Alyssa SAKs were received by Ray Caphell at the RMH.
We have seen children, siblings, parents and even grandparents all enjoying the life-affirming activity of creating art together. These hopeful acts are the reason we founded AAFH to give some level of encouragement and joy during difficult times just as our daughter, Alyssa, experienced herself. We are happy to create these times of joy for other families as we honor Alyssa’s interests, talents, and spirit.
