She spent time talking with the kids and making crafts with them.

Here’s some heartwarming footage of Melania’s visit:

A young man sitting next to Melania stole the show when he gave her a very charming compliment.

Watch this:

Look at Melania’s smile!

She is regal, indeed.

That young man is going places, for sure!

Take a look at some of these comments on that clip:

In another precious moment, Melania recognized one of the girls from an earlier visit to the Inn.

The girl, Annie, happily told her that she has recovered and is no longer a patient at the Inn.

From The New York Post:

It was her fourth visit to The Children’s Inn. She was a regular during her first time in the White House. She recognized Annie, one of the patients, from one of those earlier visits.

“You’re so grown. You’re a teenager now,” the first lady said.

Annie said she was done with treatment and was now an ambassador to the hospital.

Our first lady is so personable.

You can tell she genuinely cares.

A White House press release has more details on Melania’s visit and history with the NIH:

First Lady Melania Trump visited children with rare and serious diseases at The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Valentine’s Day. Mrs. Trump joined the children, their families, and staff members for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and encouragement.

“Love reveals itself in many forms, especially in the hardest moments of care and compassion,” said Mrs. Trump. “The Children’s Inn provides important support to children who have been diagnosed with rare and serious diseases. Returning to The Children’s Inn at NIH is a special reminder of warmth that exists here year-round thanks to the profound resilience of these young people and the dedication of those working to provide comfort, hope, and support during clinical trials. I wish them all a very happy Valentine’s Day.”

“We were deeply honored to welcome First Lady Melania Trump back to The Children’s Inn,” said Jennie Lucca, Chief Executive Officer of The Children’s Inn. “Her visit brought joy and comfort to our children and families at a time when compassion and encouragement mean so much. This Valentine’s Day celebration served as a heartfelt reminder that our families are surrounded by care, support, and hope throughout their medical journey.”

During her visit, Mrs. Trump made handmade valentines during arts and crafts activities with children and youth who are receiving care through NIH clinical trials. Mrs. Trump also spent time speaking with families and staff, expressing her appreciation for the compassion and dedication shown to children facing serious medical challenges.

The Children’s Inn at NIH is a nonprofit that provides a free residential “place like home” to reduce the burden of illness, make childhood possible, and help advance medical research. Families with children, teens, and young adults participating in leading-edge studies at the NIH Clinical Center, the nation’s premier biomedical research hospital, have been welcomed at The Inn since 1990.

First Lady Melania Trump previously celebrated Valentine’s Day at The Children’s Inn in 2018, 2019, and 2020, continuing a tradition of highlighting the resilience of children and families and the importance of compassion in healing.
