Aliyah Rotman was an incredible kid. She smiled brightly, laughed generously and loved sparkly unicorn clothes. Above all, Aliyah was unfailingly kind and giving. On the day Aliyah arrived at the Sick Kids ER, she required 7 units of blood as the amazing team tried to save her life. Reflecting on that, we are so grateful for the generosity of those who gave blood in the weeks and months leading up to March 7th 2022. Their donations gave us more time with Aliyah. Their donations allowed Aliyah to be an organ donor, to free 2 from dialysis and give a little boy a new heart.In Aliyah’s name and honour we hope to have our community join Aliyah's A-Team. As Aliyah would say, to give many others the opportunity to live their one life and live it good.
