“We solely depend of the support of our families. With Ari's dedication and determination, we have been able to continue our tradition and give each child a toy at each visit to ease their long appointments and now with the funds from the concert we will be able to use those funds to support our patients and their needs in many other ways. The interaction she has with the patients, staff and family has truly brought a lot of joy to all so we are truly honored to have her be one of our center’s biggest advocators,”
