Betty Ulrey surprises Kimberly Ochoa with Hannah Montana quilt.
Kimberly Ochoa, a six-year-old T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital oncology patient from Dalton, Ga., was chosen to receive a very special gift from Disney star Miley Cyrus. Kimberly, who is currently being treated for Leukemia, is a huge Hannah Montana fan.

Betty Ulrey, a Carmike Cinema employee, created a quilt in conjunction with the latest Hannah Montana movie release. The quilt was then sent to Disney and signed by Miley Cyrus. The quilt, along with other Hannah Montana gear, was then presented to Kimberly in the Children’s Oncology Department.

“I have a special-needs child who spent countless hours at Children’s Hospital,” said Ms. Ulrey. “I’m grateful to have this opportunity to continue a relationship with the hospital and to reach out to other children through movie characters.”

“We chose Kimberly to receive this quilt due to her love of Hannah Montana and music,” said Ashley Williams, hematology/oncology child life specialist at Children’s Hospital. “Kimberly is so full of energy and is always singing and dancing!”
