West Johnston H.S. students help brighten the holiday for hospitalized children and their families.

Durham — Having a child in the hospital is not how families want to spend Christmas. But for 27 families in that exact situation, three high school girls made their holiday a little brighter Saturday.

Caitlin Hunnicutt, Meredith Tart and Katie Stover – all juniors at West Johnston High School – volunteer each month at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham. It’s a place of shelter for families whose children are being treated in local hospitals.

The girls usually cook meals as part of their service, but they decided to take it a step further and hold a toy drive. Last week, the girls spent 12 hours at a local Food Lion and collected about 300 toys.

“People kept coming out,” Meredith said.

On Friday, the girls wrapped each of the presents and brought them to the children and their families on Saturday.

These young ladies were collecting donations and raising support for the Ronald McDonald house last week. In the horrid weather in front of FL at 4042, no less. I have "subbed" at WJ, and many of the students there are as intact and oriented as these young ladies. Sure are Proud of these three. In the currency of tens, they volunteer their time..lots of it..to help others.
Hats off to them...
