Gabby’s Monthly Memory

It’s November… this month we are GRATEFUL for Gabby!

Her strength and kindness inspire us daily, and her wish that every child in the hospital receive a Bag of Fun reminds us how important it is to spread joy, laughter and relief to those who need it most. So much gratitude for Gabby this November

Gabby is peering through a hole in some sort of a wooden structure. She has an open smile on her face and she is wearing a blue bucket hat.

Gabby smiling and wearing a blue summer dress with pink and yellow flowers. She does not have any hair, which suggests this is after her chemo treatments had started. She does appear to be really happy though.
