The Easter Bunny Visits Toronto East General
This post was written by Mario Barone Founder of Dream Makers
Today we brought Easter to the children who were not able to celebrate it at home. Thanks to our own wonderful Dream Maker volunteer Mika Midolo, who now is working with CTV's CP24 she was able to arrange Lindt chocolate to donate chocolate bunnies and eggs for an aster egg hunt at TEG Hospital. The kids were so excited! Everyone had a great time. Keith Petty, Anthony Ierullo and Danny Amato (Dream Maker Puppeteers) entertained the children by making animal puppets come to life. Our thanks to CTV producers Jennifer Johnson and Sue Robertson for their enthusiastic participation. Click on the link to see a bit of the excitement.
Thanks Mika! and everyone at CTV!!!

If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again."

There is a Reason it is Called Magic Kingdom
Another trip to Disney for the kids is just around the corner! Anyone can see by the pictures from last year’s event that it is was as much fun for the adults and volunteers as it is for the kids! I thought I would share some of the great photos that were forwarded, as a reminder of what great people with big hearts and financial donations can accomplish.
