My butterfly, along with 55 others, was auctioned off, raising $1.3 million dollars for the Expressive Therapy program of Wings, BJC's (Barnes Jewish Hospital’s) pediatric hospice program.
Wings' Expressive Art Therapy program includes all forms of artistic expression: paintings, drawings, stories, etc. These forms of self-expression lead to greater self-understanding and the release of painful feelings.
It allows children to express through art what they can’t in words.
The Friends of Wings are the volunteer fundraising group supporting the Wings program.

Wishing you all the best,
