5th Graders with True Heart!

At Capital Smiles<\/a>, we believe our work goes beyond the four walls of our practice in Schenectady, NY<\/a>. In fact, we consider it a privilege to be part of the great community that is the Capital District. The generosity and care exhibited by our fellow citizens never cease to amaze. So, when Dr. Erin Page<\/a> see an opportunity to help fellow citizens in their efforts to help one another, the dentists are ready, willing and able. Especially when those citizens just happen to be children.<\/p>\n

For Easter, the students in Ms. Izzo\u2019s fifth-grade class at St. Ambrose School showed true heart by making soft and comfy pillows for cardiac patients at Ellis Hospital. And not just any kind of pillows. These were heart shaped. Giving from one heart to help heal another heart.<\/p>\n

To help the children with their mission of giving from the heart, Capital Smiles provided funding for the stuffing material the children needed to make the pillows. Moms and aunts sewed the pillows, and then the children went to work stuffing the pillows and designing get well cards to attach to each pillow.<\/p>\n

Delivering Love<\/h2>\n

On Easter Day, classmate Jennifer and her aunt delivered 25 pillows to grateful nurses in the ICU at Ellis Hospital. The pillows were immediately brought to cardiac patients who were overjoyed by the children\u2019s demonstration of care and love for complete strangers. Another 25 were delivered the following week, and 50 more were delivered sometime after that.<\/p>\n

Jennifer was able to personally deliver a pillow to one of the cardiac patients. When asked how she felt after making the delivery, she said, “My smile is too big for my face.\u201d And at Capital Smiles, there\u2019s nothing we enjoy more than big smiles.<\/p>\n

Good job, kids!<\/p>\n
