When Jodi Flayman toured alex’s place, which provides compassionate, state-of-the-art cancer care for children and adolescents in a welcoming, family-centered environment, the experience stayed with her. Seeing the stress and heartbreak young patients and their families endured moved her so deeply that she and her husband, Robert, felt compelled to help. They made a gift that established an art therapy program to offer moments of relief during an overwhelming journey. Run by the Jar of heARTS Foundation, the program helps children express and process trauma, ease stress, and feel less alone as they navigate treatment. For the Flaymans, supporting this work proved both humbling and profoundly meaningful, a way to lift even a little weight from families facing so much.
