IC Boy Raises Money, Buys Video Games for UIHC Kids
IOWA CITY - A six year-old Iowa City boy turned into Santa for other kids. He raised more than $2,000 in about a month.
Keian Secrist used that money to buy twelve Nintendo D-S video game systems and games for the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. He dropped off the systems this afternoon. Secrist created flyers and walked door to door in his neighborhood to raise all the money. "I just decided to do something good for people this Christmas season," Keian said. "We were just stunned when we heard about his project and how much money he raised. He had this idea that if he enjoyed them, kids in the hospital would, too," said UIHC's Gwen Senio. The hospital will give away some of the systems and games to children who are receiving treatment. Others will be available for children to check out from hospital during their stay.
