A gift request for professional art materials was delivered to 10-year-old, Charlotte, at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
Michelle, Charlotte’s mom, was contacted on the morning of the delivery and she told us that Charlotte was having a tough day. We understood knowing how uncomfortable, painful and all around dispiriting the treatments for cancer can be.
Michelle came down to meet us outside the hospital and accepted Charlotte’s gift that included a large portfolio case, an easel, several canvasses, acrylic paints, brushes, markers, colored pencils and more. Michelle took pictures of her daughter and we were thrilled to see that a smiling Charlotte and the text message from her mom that we had brightened her gloomy day.
Every day we are reminded of the Joy and Hope that art and music bring to the young patients we serve.
We are grateful to our community of supporters of AAFH who share our mission and keep Alyssa’s memory alive.
