John Giroux, a Rothenberg investment advisor for over 18 years, and his daughter Melanie, embody the spirit of the holidays!
Throughout the year they spend considerable time and money to purchase stuffed toys for children. At Christmas they donate them to various children hospitals and causes. John is well aware of the hardship of sick children and their families: “many children lack a support system around them or cannot express their emotions. With the stuffed animals I try to give them a constant “companion”, a buddy they can confide in without being embarrassed or judged”.
John and Melanie have been organizing this toy drive for children for many years have donated over 12,000 stuffed toys over the last 13 years.The pics below feature John with Natalie Kamel, Director of Donations and Donor Development, Shriners Hospital (Montreal).
