OAK LAWN, Ill. -- A woman who sees sick children at her job nearly everyday does all she can to help them feel better during the holidays.
Trinity Hospital Food Service Aide Jessie Tendayi continued her generosity in 2016 by delivering toys to young hospital patients at Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, Tuesday.
She says she spent $5,000 on 1,000 toys this year to stock her free toy store.
Tendayi began the gift-giving in 2009 with 100 toys.
This year, she's delivering 10 times as many.
Tendayi saves money from her paycheck and sometimes pick ups extra shifts to fund her mission.
