The Wareham Police Association is spreading hope to children who are hospitalized.
Members of the association packed “Bags of Hope” for the Happy Hope Foundation.
The bags, which contain crayons, cards, bubbles, masks, and toys, are an effort to make the child’s hospital stay more pleasant.
Scotlyn Larue, a nurse at Wareham Pediatrics, along with Deb Gonsalves, nursing manager at Tobey Hospital, are coordinating the delivery of the bags to children in need. Juvenile Detective Karl Baptiste and Officer Calib Larue, who is Scotlyn Larue’s husband, spearheaded the project for the Police Association.
