Furniture Store and Employees Help Cancer Girl

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Touched by a 4-year-old girl’s battle with cancer that already had claimed both of her eyes, Bob’s Discount Furniture and several employees of its Orange, Conn., store gave the girl a set of bedroom furniture that her family could not afford.

According to a story in the New Haven Register, store employees learned that a $400 gift card she had received from a local cancer treatment center would not cover everything she needed.

One of them contacted the retailer’s corporate office, who agreed to donate a mattress and bedroom furniture. Store employees then donated lamps, a quilt set and a stuffed animal.
