Celebs, pols bring toys to sick tots
BY JULIANNE MCSHANE
They made this hospital a
happy place!
Leaders of Brownsville’s
Brookdale Hospital
and a local do-good group
handed out more than 100
toys to tykes at a star-studded
giveaway on Dec. 18.
Notable musicians
joined football stars with
the New York Giants at
the sixth-annual “Christmas
in Brooklyn” event,
which brought some
much-needed cheer to
youngsters who are currently
being treated at the
hospital, according to an
organizer.
“The joy that I see on
the kids’ faces is priceless,”
said Meda Leacock,
the founder of mentoring
organization I Am
Wonda Woman Foundation
, which serves teenage
girls in Brooklyn and
Queens.
Kind-hearted locals donated
the dozens of toys,
books, and stuffed animals
that Leacock, pols,
and civic gurus — including
Assemblyman Walter
Mosley (D–Bedford-
Stuyvesant) and 43rd
Assembly District Leader
Geoffrey Davis — handed
out to the kids during the
bash, which also featured
a puppet show, food, and
a dance party, Leacock
said.
And professional athletes
including Giants
player Deon Grant and
boxer Bruce Carrington,
along with hip-hop stars

Lil Cease and Fetty Luciano,
lent their hands to
help pass out the presents
to the eager tots — some
of whom got the chance
to see Grant’s Super Bowl
XLVI championship ring
up close, according to Leacock.
The festivities helped
even the shiest pint-sized
patients come out of their
shells, making the time
it took to put the event together
well worth it, she
said.
“There was a kid who
just didn’t want to speak,
didn’t want to laugh, but
when we gave him a big
truck and he saw the box,
the way his face lit up —
that’s priceless,” Leacock
said.
