Young patients at Nicklaus Children's Hospital are trading in their hospital gowns for costumes and trick-or-treating with the help of dedicated nurses. The hospital, located in Southwest Miami-Dade, brought out the Halloween spirit by letting children dress up in their spookiest attire.
The event marked a special tradition that brings together patients and families with their medical team, providing a sense of normalcy during an otherwise gloomy holiday. "It's really important to give them a sense of normalcy while they're here at the hospital and they're able to enjoy their holiday," said Juliana Pereira for Nicklaus Children's Hospital.
The children were also treated to a Halloween parade and pumpkin decorating, adding to the festive atmosphere. For some, like Coco Mastrangelo, this was an opportunity to give back to the community. "This is special to me because my family has been doing charities for hospitals for as long as I can remember," she said.
As part of her charity work in Florida, Mastrangelo chose to participate at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of young patients. The hospital's efforts to bring joy and normalcy to its young patients are truly heartwarming, providing a much-needed respite from the challenges they face.

Giving back to your community can make all the difference, especially for kids who are already going through tough times. It's great to see hospitals like Nicklaus Children's Hospital taking care of their patients' emotional and mental well-being too.

This is so cool! I'm living for how they're bringing Halloween spirit into a hospital where you'd think it would be all about getting better, not dressing up. It's like they know that even when we're sick, we still want to have fun and feel normal for once 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want a Halloween parade and pumpkin decorating? 
It's just proof that with a little creativity, you can turn any hospital stay into a fun experience
