Meet Katelyn. Earlier this year, she wrote a passionate letter to the Butterfly Paws team and recorded it to share why she thought it was so important to have therapy and facility dogs on the 11th and 12th floors of the hospital, a place where she stays frequently. Thanks to her letter and support from our community, we've been able to expand our program and now Katelyn gets to visit with her favorite pups during her hospital stays! She writes, "Thank you for all you do for Butterfly Paws. Having dogs on the 11th and 12th floor has made so many kids happy, including me! The dogs are so sweet and cute! Having a furry friend in the hospital has really made my stays a lot better! Sometimes I am really tired and when the dog comes I feel encouraged to get out of bed and snuggle! Even when I can't get out of bed, I love how the dog jumps right up and snuggles with me! The dogs have made me so happy during my stays in the hospital."
