Mikayla Capers spent a week and a half in the hospital after she was stabbed 16 times in the elevator of her East New York apartment.
Capers was on the way to get ice cream with a friend.
On Saturday, Capers' great-grandmother asked that everyone give her time so that she can get all the help that she needs.
The parents of Capers' playmate, 6-year-old P.J. Avitto say they will hold a block party on Tuesday to mark the boy's 7th birthday.
Ex-con Daniel St. Hubert is charged in the attack.
