One of the moments that caught Monica’s attention more than any other was when a small boy came into the operating room area. He was very scared and afraid, which is true of most of the children. But for some reason this boy stood out from the rest. For days she has pestered me to post his photo. The reason why? She was able to give out toys to the children that have been donated. Some of the toys come from individuals, some from schools, and some from a particular brownie troupe in Southern California; but these small gifts are cherished by both the children and their families.
We had spare toys as well, so other children that were not operated on by us might have something. A powerful device that can immediately change tears into a smile.
