The Princess Program Foundation makes a little girl's day when Belle and Ariel surprise her while in the Boston Children's Hospital.

A little magic can go a long way. Just ask Belle and Ariel.

When Disney princesses Belle and Ariel showed up to a little girl's hospital room, it wasn’t just her face that lit up — the whole room did. And soon, millions on the internet followed suit.

"The look on her face as we walked through those magical gates is something I’ll never forget," said Alyssa Banks, founder of The Princess Program Foundation. "Seeing her eyes light up, surrounded by the wonder she had always dreamed of, reminded me that these experiences truly change lives — not just for the children, but for everyone involved."

Alyssa Banks wanted to bring a sense of magic and joy to children in the hospital, so she created The Princess Program Foundation. This nonprofit brings kids’ favorite heroes and princesses to life and surprises them when they need it most. Recently, one of those special moments went viral after a little girl met her favorite fictional characters.

"One day, while working with a child, I heard the words that changed everything: “I’ll never get to go to Disney.” In that moment, I knew I wanted to change that story — not by taking them to Disney, but by bringing Disney like magic to them," explained Banks.

The faces behind the magic? Volunteers who offer their acting skills to build a special interaction. Each visit is tailored to what each child loves most, so every kid feels special, seen and celebrated. They spend time doing crafts, reading stories, bringing special dresses — and most importantly, sharing smiles and laughter.

"It’s those genuine moments of connection that make every visit unforgettable," said Banks.

The foundation started in Boston, but has since grown internationally, bringing this unique sense of wonder to children all over the world.
