FLOTUS To Visit The Children's Inn At NIH On Valentine's Day

BETHESDA, MD — First Lady Melania Trump will celebrate Valentine's Day with young patients at The Children's Inn at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. This is the third time FLOTUS is spending the holiday with sick children at the NIH.

"We are so honored that the First Lady has chosen to spend Valentine's Day with the children and families of The Children's Inn once again this year," said Jennie Lucca, CEO of The Children's Inn at NIH. "We've come to look forward to her visit every year. Mrs. Trump brings a delightful experience for our families and awareness to the much-needed medical research happening here at the NIH."

The Children's Inn at NIH is a family-centered residence for pediatric patients at the National Institutes of Health. The private nonprofit's facility is designed to allow children and their families to stay together for free while participating in clinical research studies at the NIH.

During her visit to The Children's Inn, Trump will meet with Lucy, an 11-year-old patient from Virginia who has Job's syndrome, a rare immunodeficiency disorder that makes her vulnerable to frequent and potentially life-threatening infections, according to a press release. After meeting Lucy, the First Lady will join a group of children as they decorate cookies, Valentine's Day cards, and heart wreaths for their loved ones.
