Maria Serban, 6, tells and shows Dylan Snyder, 11, where she had four IV's hooked up to her during one of her hospital visits as they chat after Dylan presented Maria and her mother, Elena, with a check for nearly $4,000 at the South Elgin Lions Club on Wednesday, April 2. Maria, a first-grader at Willard Elementary School, has a rare form of arthritis and was very sick the past few months. Dylan, a fifth-grader at the school, raised funds with a spaghetti dinner and auction last month at the Lions Club where his great grandfather, Leo Snyder, is a member.
