Children Treated to Bundles of Toys From Quakes

LOMA LINDA >> Patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic received bundles of toys this week thanks to some up-and-coming baseball players. The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, affiliates of the Los Angeles Dodgers, made the special delivery to patients receiving treatment at the clinic, which was nearly at capacity that day. Memories were made as several patients got a new toy to take home along with autographed baseballs and team gear from the athletes. The Quakes players met and prayed with patients as they received treatment. They were so moved by the patients they met, the players detoured to the closest toy store to purchase more goodies for the children. While shopping, the baseball players specifically pointed out toys from their earlier conversations with the patients and took them back to the clinic. Erick Mejia, Rancho Cucamonga Quakes infielder; Luis De Paula, pitcher; and Johan Mieses, outfielder, were three of the four men who dedicated their time to passing out toys and baseball gear.
