Melania Trump Crafts Valentines with Children Battling Rare Diseases

 



During an early Valentine's Day event at The Children’s Inn at NIH, First Lady Melania Trump joined children and young adults in clinical trials for arts and crafts, signed a large card, and encouraged shy kids with a playful nudge. A young man named Marlon charmed her by calling her a queen, prompting her warm reply, "He’s a charmer!" This marked her fourth visit to the inn, a nonprofit providing free housing to ease families' burdens during long treatments, where she praised the children's resilience and shared her love for Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Inn CEO Jennie Lucca noted the visit brought joy and hope to families.
