About a year ago, just before her seventh birthday, eight-year-old Cate Brossia spent four days at a children’s hospital in Toledo, Ohio. She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and — thanks to the staff at the hospital — has been able to get the treatment she needs to stay as healthy as possible.
When Cate was in the hospital, the staff also threw her a birthday party with cake and toys.
She hasn’t forgotten that kind gesture and was recently able to give back by donating hundreds of toys, for kids of all ages, including parents, to that hospital.
Cate and her mother, Alicia, collected donations from the community and were able to unload a truck full of these toys at the hospital’s main entrance.
Cate’s doctor pointed out that many children come to the hospital in an emergency and aren’t able to bring things that comfort them.
Thanks to Cate’s generous donation, these kids now have something “fun and friendly” while they are treated. (Toledo Blade)
