Over the years, Zenaida spent months in our hospital receiving treatment for neuroblastoma. Her family credits her music therapists, child life specialists, chaplains, and so many others with helping them keep a positive outlook in the midst of difficult times.
“Having Emily there was definitely a godsend. It was so cool, seeing Zenaida smile and get a little bit of her childhood back, enjoying trying out instruments, creating music, and making the treatment process much easier for her. It was amazing.”
–Crystal, mom of 12-year-old cancer patient Zenaida
