Patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) were treated to hearts and crafts courtesy of the Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild, which recently hosted the annual Loving Hearts Loving You Valentine’s Day party. Guild members along with LLUCH child life services staff worked together to make a therapeutic environment where the patients could create crafts and read books. Each child received an age appropriate book and a Valentine’s Day teddy bear provided by the Loma Linda Guild. “This event is part of the Loma Linda Guild’s mission to enhance the overall experience of the precious children at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital,” said Guild president, Dixie Watkins. In addition to the usual fare of the Valentine’s Day celebration, a few fairy tale princesses also stopped by to visit with the children. The Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild was created in 1999 and is committed to raising funds to ensure critical medical care for the children at LLUCH. The organization has raised over $1.4 million since its inception.
