After Violet was diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a secondary complication left her with severe myopathy. She spent 88 days in the St. Luke's Children's PICU unable to move or speak, but when her music therapist, Kathrine, walked in, everything shifted toward what was possible.
When Kathrine sat with Violet, it was the first time her family could truly see her strength in action. Violet lit up, smiled and moved to the music, using instruments specially chosen so she could participate. These sessions created a vital space for connection, allowing Violet and her siblings to find joy together on her unique health journey.
Programs like music therapy are made possible when people and partners come together to raise funds for children’s hospitals in our network. These resources provide comfort and connection, elevating what is possible and giving kids every chance to grow up strong.

St. Luke’s Children’s Toy Box is well underway, and thanks to donors and volunteers, it’s bringing cheer to kids in St. Luke’s care during the holidays. Some of the volunteers who make it possible included Vallivue High School football players and cheerleaders, who worked to organize donations, prepare the “shop” for families and even put together toys that needed assembly. We are so grateful for the community’s generosity and support of this annual holiday tradition!
