The Question
How can one child's hospital experience become a way to comfort other kids?
About This Conversation
After being diagnosed at age seven with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura, Ella Casano realized how frightening looking at an I.V. bag can be. A couple years later, Ella decided that she didn't want other kids to have to stare at the daunting medicine, so at age 10 she decided to create the non-profit Medi Teddy! This clever organization creates free teddy bear pouches that are designed to cover the IV bag, so instead of kids seeing a big bag of medicine, they instead see a friendly, furry face!
