Jazzy, a 16-year-old cancer patient, missed her prom but celebrated at the 35th Pediatric Prom at Memorial Sloan Kettering. This event, initially a small gathering, has evolved into an elaborate ball with decorations, music, and food. It aims to provide joy and a sense of normalcy for young patients facing difficult treatments. Jazzy, along with other attendees, expressed gratitude for the emotional support and fun, highlighting the significance of the event in fostering a sense of family among patients and staff.
"We get to have our own little prom here," said Jazzy, who is facing hearing loss from her chemotherapy. "We have a new family here."
