Gift helps brighten
kids' hospital stays

Methodist Child Life Specialist Carol Weiss needed some new toys and supplies to help her with her job of comforting and teaching young patients. That's where Barbara Spurgeon stepped in. Barb, a past Foundation Board member, member of the Foundation’s President’s Society, and also a Methodist volunteer for many years, made a generous gift to the Foundation to enhance the pediatric experience at Methodist.

"I like to see my gift at work," Barb said, "so I am happy to support Carol's efforts. It is clear that she is making a big difference for children and their parents at Methodist."
