The past few years I have had the privilege of volunteering in the Infant Respiratory Unit at ALYN hospital together with my daughter, Livia. Y. is one of the precious kids that we’ve had a chance to connect with and fall in love with during our weekly visits.
With his spunk and perseverance and the amazing team of doctors, nurses and therapists at ALYN, Y. has overcome severe health obstacles in his year and a half at ALYN and has been released home to live with his family! This photo of the two of us was taken the day before he went home…..
Although this hike will be an enormous physical challenge for me, it is nothing compared to the challenges the children of ALYN face on a daily basis. I am looking forward to the challenge and am excited to be a part of this wonderful and meaningful opportunity to support ALYN and the important work it does.
