Alyssa Starter Art Kits (SAKs) were delivered to Cleveland Clinic Children’s Outpatient Center by Claudinha, a prior gift recipient’s mom & AAFH Volunteer, on Monday, March 27, 2023.

Claudinha and her family first met Yoli 5 years ago when her son, Joao Pedro (JP) was being treated at Shriners Children’s Florida Hospital in Tampa. Due to JP’s health situation, the Goncalves family relocated from Itupeva, Brazil to Avon, Ohio and continue to obtain the required care for JP at Shriner’s in Oak Park, IL.

Claudinha and her family are volunteers of Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope and wanted to share Alyssa’s SAKs with young patients at Cleveland Clinic, so we contacted Meredith McCulloch - ChildLife Manager. Meredith received the SAKs and expressed her appreciation for the donation of these professional art materials.

We thank Claudinha and her family for continuing to volunteer and supporting our organization.

We are grateful for the wonderful volunteers who make it possible for us to provide professional art materials to young patients across our country and allow them to self-express themselves and carry on with our mission in Alyssa’s memory.
