Hi.  I am Nikki.  I am very excited to become a Bat Mitzvah!  I chose to start a fundraiser for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital so I can make a difference for those children who are hospitalized. This project is meaningful to me because as a young child, I stayed at this very hospital.  While I was there, I was given a small stuffed animal.  My parents told me that this stuffy brought a huge smile to my face.  I want to help bring a smile to other kids who are in the same boat. 

The hospital tries to create a kid friendly and cheerful environment.  Creating this special place takes a lot of money.  They have a playroom with video games, toys, board games, dolls, and art supplies.  They even bring in characters from time to time.

I am hoping to help the hospital raise money to continue their efforts in making the hospital stay a bit easier on children.
