For 24 years, Bergen County's local PBA's have been delivering Christmas toys to kids in need.
Lines are never good. But these lines are particularly bad. You will not find them in toy stores or in malls. These lines are the pathways carved by unimaginable agony, yet tell a story of unceasing hope and incredible faith. These are the lines that map the faces of parents afflicted with the anguish of watching over, and caring for, their seriously ill children. Many of whom are dying.

Sanzari Children's Hospital and Tomorrows Children to deliver Christmas to the children and families who occupy every pediatric …
