Antigua St John's - The Pediatric Unit at the Mount St John’s Medical Centre can make a hospital stay for a sick child a little more comfortable thanks to a donation from Happy Kids.

The unit received two tricycles and other toys, while two toddler beds were donated to the Social Services department.

“We’re always happy when members of the business community - in spite of the recession come forward and form partnerships with the hospital," said social worker Koren Norton.

"We’re extremely grateful to Mr Saoud and his team at Happy Kids, and wish them increased business for 2012. The beds donated will go to two deserving families in the community. It will be a difficult choice to make, but we’re happy to be in a position to make choices that benefit families."

Owner of Happy Kids Elie Saoud said, “I’m happy to be able to support the hospital. Kids and the elderly… that’s my passion. So anything that I can do to remind kids who are in the hospital of the comforts of home, I will do. The parents of these kids are the ones who support my business, so this is my way of giving back to them.”

Head of Marketing & Communications at MSJMC Salma Crump said, "This donation will mean that there will be more smiling faces on the unit, and a late Christmas gift of sorts to some deserving families in the community.

We are extremely grateful for this extraordinary kindness. Talks are already ongoing with Mr Saoud on how we can further strengthen our relationship with Happy Kids."
