When we went to see the Child Life Specialists at the hospital this week, I had no idea what they had in store for Maura.  The asked her if she wanted to be a part of an art show called Celebrate Life that is currently being exhibited at NWTC.  And they were also wondering if she would mind if her painting day was featured on the local news.  Miss Kim of Healart.org (Helping Elevate through Art and Love and boy does she do just that!) spends countless hours helping so many people through art and the culminating event is coming up on May 23. There are over 68 pieces of art on display and for sale!  The Child Life Specialists at St. Vincent’s have done so much to help Maura cope and deal with some really big issues for her age and we are so grateful for all they do.  So if you are free and need some amazing art for your walls, come out and support a wonderful cause.

Anyway – Of course Maura wanted to paint!  I was a little worried that she would be shy and/or close up when a camera came in the room.  But she amazed me once again.  She charmed everyone in the room with her giggles and hopefully this Sunday morning she’ll warm the hearts of those watching Channel 5.  It’d be hard not to fall in love in my opinion 😉
