A karaoke machine was delivered to Taveon Woodward, an 11-year-old from Lake Villa, IL on Monday, January 24, 2022. Taveon enjoys singing , playing games, and doing art projects. He learned about AAFH while being treated at Comer Children’s Hospital, part of the University of Chicago Medicine Group in Hyde Park in Chicago’s south side.
While dropping off Taveon’s gift, AAFH also delivered 50 Alyssa Starter Art Kits (SAKs) for other patients being treated at Comer. Paulina Lopez who works there as a Child Life Assistant accepted our donation. The kits included coloring book kits, journal kits, drawing kits, acrylic and watercolor paint kits, and color marker art kits.
Paulina knows first-hand how important these creative outlets are to the young patients who are dealing with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
We witnessed it ourselves when our daughter, Alyssa, was going through her own treatment for cancer. It is in Alyssa’s memory that we carry on her legacy of love for art and music.
