For many Latino families, the 15th birthday marks a special moment in the lives of adolescents making their transition to adulthood. Called a quinceañera/o, the birthday often is celebrated with a festive flourish that includes huge princess dresses, family dance parties and unique gifts. For Litzy, a young patient at UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital, such dreams came true when she celebrated with a Zoom dance party hosted by teenage pop performer JoJo Siwa after awaking from a COVID-19 medically induced coma.
