In partnershop with Liset Meruelo, founder of Bear Hugs Toy Drive, Angelica Maria, a popular actress, donated more than 1,000 stuffed animals to the patients at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Actor Andy Zuno and characters Princess Anna and Queen Elsa from Disney’s Frozen also joined Angelica Maria and Meruelo. They spent one-on-one time with each patient and took photos, signed autographs and delivered stuffed animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to collect and distribute these stuffed animals for patients and families at Miller Children\u2019s is one of my greatest joys during the holidays,\u201d Meruelo said in a statement. \u201cBy doing something as small as donating a comforting stuffed animal and spending time with these children and their families, we can make a huge difference in their day. I am thankful to Angelica Maria for her continued support, and to Andy Zuno, for volunteering their time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
