Inspired Mom Donates 'Curious George's to Montville First Aid

On Aug. 13, a group of familiar monkeys made their way into the Montville Township First Aid Squad house.

Sheri Leonard dropped of a box of Curious George stuffed animals after being inspired by her daughter, Caleigh.

Caleigh’s friend injured her leg while playing soccer and as Caleigh watched squad members treat her friend’s leg, “Caleigh thought to herself that it would have been a comfort to her friend if she had a Curious George to keep her company in the ambulance during her ride to the hospital,” according to a press release.

“Curious George was Caleigh’s favorite stuffed animal and had always been a comfort to her, and when she mentioned that to her mother, Sheri Leonard decided to order a case and donate them to the Squad for distribution to young patients in any future situations.”  

Now, each rig has a pair of Curious Georges waiting in the ‘toy locker.’
