“As a parent, you do whatever it takes so that your children have the best things in life,” Trina Dennis, Ravi’s mother said. “The Children’s Hospital played a huge role in my daughter’s success and her ability to have a normal childhood. I know Ravi’s going to do some awesome things. I look forward to seeing what’s going to become of my little lady.”
