Jillian Massey may have been released from hospital treatment back in October, but she hasn’t forgotten all the children who needed to stay.

This brave little 4-year-old was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in April and started undergoing treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. During her six months as a patient, Jillian made lots of friends with other children who were hospitalized.
