Dad Mourns His Late Daughter By Creating a Christmas Tree Farm to Bring Cheer (and Snow) to Kids in Hospital

Dad Mourns His Late Daughter By Creating a Christmas Tree Farm to Bring Cheer (and Snow) to Kids in Hospital
One grieving father turned his heartbreak into an opportunity to bring joy to hundreds of young hospital patients in Alabama–with help from Ace Hardware.

One family's loss has sparked a movement to bring light into others' lives via a makeshift Christmas tree farm.

A man named Mark suffered every parent's worst nightmare after he lost his daughter Mary Beth at age 7. She had spent the majority of her life in surgery, receiving medical procedures to correct severe heart defects.

While being treated at Children's of Alabama hospital in Birmingham, Mark said it was painful for them to spend the holidays without her in their home—so they would often bring Christmas to her. After she passed, he wanted to make sure no other parents or children had to miss holidays together.
