Care for the Whole Family
Aisley's family faced many challenges during her treatment, including living on a reduced income and being separated at times during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Seattle Children’s social workers helped with the family's financial needs, child life specialists kept Aisley laughing and smiling while she was in the hospital.
