Jeffery has been a patient at Shriners Children’s Erie since he was just a few months old and now, he’s officially graduated from care!

Through the years, one familiar face has always been by his side, child life specialist Michelle DeRooy (right). From his earliest visits to his most recent appointments, Michelle has helped make sure Jeffery was never afraid and always felt comfortable and supported. ❤️

We’re so proud of how far Jeffery has come and can’t wait to see all the amazing things he’ll do next! Congratulations, Jeffery, your Shriners Children's Erie family is cheering you on every step of the way! 👏
