Meet Our Shriners Children's Chicago Patients Attending Higgy Con 2026

Speaker 1:
This is my fourth Higgy time. It's so much fun. I've met so many of my closest friends here.

Speaker 2:
The vibe is very friendly, and it just feels comfortable around here.

Speaker 3:
It's so fun. I love it. I'm so glad we came. It's amazing. I got to meet so many new people.

Speaker 4:
I'm friends with all of the girls in my session, but I made one really, really close friend and her name is Izzy.

Speaker 5:
I feel like everyone relates, and everyone's in the same situation.

Speaker 3:
I'm not alone, which I knew, but it feels more real when you see it in person.

Speaker 6:
I don't care if they have a brace or a fusion; I just want to meet more people.

I really like Shriners. The staff is very nice.

Speaker 4:
That's also a very good community, and everyone there is so nice, and they make it not scary at all.

Speaker 2:
I want to be a surgeon. I want to be able to help other kids like how Dr. Gupta helped me.
