Jazmine Walter understands the vital role toys play in the lives of sick children. During her time as a high school junior, she faced a long hospitalization at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland. Walter was treated for a severe digestive issue, suffering from five ulcers and two holes in her stomach.
Throughout her stay, a small stuffed dog named Hope, provided by hospital staff, became her constant companion. This simple gesture made a significant impact, helping her cope with various uncomfortable procedures and alleviating feelings of boredom and loneliness.
