Tributes from patients and families whose lives have been changed by Denny Sanford’s generosity continue fill our hearts, including these heartfelt words from Alissa, mom to Liam: "We are so grateful for the doctors and nurses at the Sanford Children’s Castle for saving our little boy’s life. If it wasn’t for the generosity of Denny Sanford, we may not have been able to get the amazing care and support we did. It is a blessing to have Sanford Children’s Hospital so close to home."
Liam was just 3 months old when he was rushed to Sanford Children's after testing positive for RSV and COVID. During his 22-day stay, he spent 12 days on a ventilator, faced pneumonia in both lungs and battled a host of other challenges. Thanks to lifesaving care from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Liam recovered and now, this sweet boy is reaching new milestones every day — like getting his very own Miracle Treat Day Blizzard!
