Allison wrote this story with the help of her teacher, Melissa Mahlke. She wrote it to help other kids feel better about writing and drawing about their experiences in the hospital. Now she says she'd like to be an art therapist, and start a foundation to help kids who have to go through what she has gone through. We made copies and gave them to the therapists at Children's who help the kids express themselves. She also read it on the air for the Alice 105.9 radio thon, which raised 1.5 million for Children's Hospital during February.
