Jordyn Perez was about to turn 8 years old when her mom suggested a new way to celebrate her birthday. “What would you think about donating your gifts to a children’s hospital?” her mom said. Jordyn wasn’t sure. She gave it some thought. “Okay, that’s cool,” she said. “I already had everything I needed. And these kids that were going through things at the hospital — they needed it more than I did.” Now Jordyn is a freshman in high school. She continues to bring joy to kids being treated for serious illnesses. In December, she made her eighth annual birthday-gift donation to Baptist Children’s Hospital.
