A 5-year-old boy in Florida who is battling a life-threatening brain condition received a touching surprise on the last day of the school year.
More than 100 second-grade students at Cracker Trail Elementary School in Sebring, Florida, surprised Payton Haynes with a custom-made doll that features his same surgery scars.
He underwent his first brain surgery at three months old to treat craniosynostosis, a birth defect in which the bones in a baby’s skull join together too early, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . They decided unanimously to donate the money to help a child with a serious illness, according to their lead teacher, Liz Prendergast.
The school called Amy, a mother of three in Wisconsin who makes custom dolls for kids through her non-profit, Doll Like Me. The second-grade students' faces"lit up with excitement" when they presented the doll to Payton last Friday, according to both Pendergrast and the school's principal, Rick Kogelschatz.
