Alyssa Starter Art Kits (SAKs) were delivered to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago on June 14, 2023.  A total of 40 Alyssa SAKs were received by Willow Messier and included nature coloring books, drawing kits, journal kits, colored pencil kits and acrylic art kits.

Willow was joined by her assistant, Giuseppina, and the two of them have worked closely with AAFH for several years through their work as art therapists at Lurie Children’s.  On a daily basis, they see how impactful art can be in providing creative outlets for the young patients facing serious medical challenges.

We are happy to partner with Lurie Children’s in giving hope to young patients in Alyssa’s memory. You can help us make a positive impact in these young patients’ lives and in keeping the legacy of Alyssa’s love for the arts alive.  Click DONATE to make a donation of any amount.
