## Resource

A Kansas City teen named Morrissey teamed up with Make-A-Wish to bring joy to kids at Wesley Children’s Hospital with her heartfelt book, “Ella’s New Beat,” designed to comfort children facing medical challenges. By handing out copies in person, she created a lifeline of relatability and hope—helping kids like Ava Thibodeau feel less scared and more seen. Morrissey’s mission? To inspire others to chase their dreams while working toward becoming a child life specialist. With 70 Make-A-Wish kids in Wichita and the organization relying on community support, her story proves that small acts of kindness can spark big change.
