(SACRAMENTO) Life is a little rough for 9-year-old Emmanuel “Manny” Goff, a cancer patient at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. For more than six months, he has been coming all the way from Redding to get chemotherapy. It is a long drive and the pediatric infusion room is often chilly.
That’s why a soft, heart-shaped pillow that turns into a blanket was a welcome gift. He responded with a huge smile when asked if it was cuddly.
As part of a national Subaru Loves to Care campaign, Maita Subaru joined with the local Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to donate 80 navy-blue plaid pillows to the cancer center last week. The center then gave the pillows pediatric cancer patients.
Manny was diagnosed with T-cell acute Leukemia last year shortly before Thanksgiving.
