Resident helps add hope to hospital playroom
Thanks to an Oak Creek resident, a fundraising drive for a "Playroom of Hope" at Children's Hospital got $10,000 closer to its goal .
Fay Flatow nominated the children's playroom for a grant as part of Northwestern Mutual's Days of Sharing program.
Northwestern Mutual is awarding money throughout November on behalf of employees, who nominate a local nonprofit organization to receive grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.
A family is trying to raise $300,000 to build a 1,100-square-foot playroom so siblings of hospitalized children can have a space for entertainment and solace.
Flatow works for Northwestern Mutual as a web design specialist.
Two other Oak Creek residents, Christine Milewski and Ronelle Brown, earlier this month nominated Wisconsin Humane Society, which received a $5,000 grant.
