Celebrating a Quinceañera at a Children's Hospital.

Alexa Flores López is a 15-year-old girl in Mexico City. She is very excited to have a quinceañera, a special birthday party for girls turning 15.

Alexa is having her party at the Federico Gomez Children's Hospital. The hospital throws a quinceañera party every year for patients who can't afford it.

The hospital's party is a big event with volunteers, makeup artists, and nice clothes. Alexa is grateful for the party because her family couldn't afford a big celebration.

Another 15-year-old patient, Carlos Emilio Escalona García, is also having his quinceañera at the hospital. Carlos is happy to be at the party because he just had surgery and couldn't have a party anywhere else.

The party is a lot of fun with music, dancing, and happy families. Alexa and Carlos enjoy their special day, celebrating with their families and the other patients.
