You’re allstars! Five years ago today Evelyn modelled for the Lurie Children’s Hospital’s upcoming Valentine’s Day card campaign. She was so proud to do something that would cheer other kids up in the hospital ❤️‍🩹

Thanks so much to everyone who has supported Pupchella and our fund at ACH. You’re helping keep her legacy of caring for other kids alive.
