Fourth grader puts community first

Sophia Anderson, a fourth grader at Bonny Slope Elementary School, has set an example for unselfishness.

When Sophia recently celebrated her 10th birthday, she asked her friends to bring presents that could be donated to My Little Waiting Room, a drop-in child care facility at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.

The donated gifts included games and lots of colorful art supplies.

My Little Waiting Room celebrates its first birthday next month. In the past year, it provided drop-in child care to the parents of more than 1,300 children.

My Little Waiting Room is the Northwest’s first drop-in child care facility to be located inside a hospital.
