Maddie offered to bring in her own Menorah from home
Maddie had a patient from Israel who needed surgery. The patient and family were Jewish and were going to be here over Hanukkah. The family was sad/concerned that they would not be able to light a Menorah while in the hospital. Maddie offered to bring in her own Menorah from home and helped coordinate with the hospital and a local Rabbi so that they would be able to go outside on the patio, light the Menorah, and celebrate Hanukkah. This meant a lot to the family. They were very grateful to Maddie for making the extra effort and making their hospital stay more enjoyable while being so far away from home.
