D
Judy was about to turn 7 years old when her
mum suggested a new way to celebrate her
birthday.“ What would you think about donating
your gifts to a children's hospital?" her mum
said.
At first,Judy wasn't sure.Then she gave it some thought.“ It can be a good idea,” Judy told TIME for Kids.
" I already had everything I needed,and these kids that were going through things at the hospital-they needed it more than I did."
Now a freshman in high school,Judy continues to bring joy to kids and teens being treated for serious illnesses.In
December 2023,it was her 9 th year to donate her birthday gifts to the children's hospital in San Antonio,Texas.
" Just to see their little faces when she hands them the gifts,that's always been our favourite part," says Judy's mum,So ndra Perez.“ Seeing the kids ’,reactions just touches our heart."
Kids, 10 and older are more often hospitalized for mental health problems.Whatever the patient's age, a hospital stay can be stressful.Judy's effort is a bright light during a difficult time.
Along with an invitation to Judy's party,her friends get a list of gift ideas for kids at the hospital.For the smallest patients,gifts might include building blocks or toy trains.
“ And for the teenagers,my age or older," Judy says,"“ it might be nail polish or books."
After the first round of donations,Judy shares the list with family, coaches, and teammates. The number of donations 66 grows every year,99 she says,but she doesn't keep
an exact count.Instead,she judges by sight." We measure
how much of the carpet(地毯)it covers in our living room,”
Judy says." Last year,it covered the whole carpet."
Then it's time to share the gifts with kids at the
hospital.“ Seeing other people's happiness-that's all that
matters to me," Judy says.
Natalie Gutierrez works in the public relations office at
the children's hospital.She has seen firsthand the influence of
Judy's gift-giving.“ She puts smiles on the faces of these little
patients in our hospital and on our nurses and doctors."
Gutierrez says.“ They are all amazed at how generous she was at such a young age."
Judy's efforts to help kids in the hospital have encouraged others to follow in her footsteps.Friends have collected and donated gifts for their birthdays too.And Judy says her 11-year-old twin sister helps animals by donating to the Humane Society.
" Giving to others,it's just a good feeling to have at the end of the day," Judy says." I want to keep doing this as long as I can."
