Natalie Bilynsky and her colleague, Sarah, Recreation Therapist at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in downtown Chicago received our donation of 50 Alyssa Starter Art Kits (SAKs) on April 22, 2022. Alyssa was treated there when it was named the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
The assorted art materials included 5 different Alyssa SAKs: coloring books, journals, drawing kits, colored pencil, and watercolor paint kits. Our hope is that these Alyssa SAKs bring fun and enjoyment to young patients undergoing treatment and therapy at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab.
When Alyssa was going through her treatments for leukemia, she discovered a talent for art in addition to her existing passion for music and we are happy to provide the young patients with a creative outlet. Providing art materials allows the young patients to self-express themselves and carry on with our mission in Alyssa’s memory.
Your donations make it possible for us to bring these professional starter art kits to young patients going through their medical journey. Please donate today by clicking here.
