When 16-year-old Alex Law’s friend Ellie told her how isolating it was to be a patient at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) during the pandemic shutdown, Law and three of her friends decided to do something to help.
“Ellie told me about the children she meets when she has to go to CHOC sometimes, some who have to be there for months at a time,” Law told The Epoch Times. “She said it was really lonely for them because only one parent could visit for a limited time each day and no volunteers could come to read or play with them because of COVID.”
