A warm and touching moment unfolded at the Agia Sophia Children’s Hospital, when firefighters decided to bring the Christmas spirit to children hospitalized with serious illnesses, offering them gifts and smiles.
Specifically, wearing Santa Claus costumes, the firefighters used ropes to descend from the hospital roof, surprising the young patients. One of them even descended from a fire truck crane, while others climbed the building to deliver gifts to children who couldn’t move around.

Χθες οι «ιπτάμενοι Άγιοι Βασίληδες» της Πυροσβεστικής, μοίρασαν δώρα σε νοσηλευόμενα παιδιά στο νοσοκομείο Νοσοκομείο Παίδων Αγία Σοφία.
Μοιραστήκαμε χαμόγελα, δύναμη και συγκίνηση, τιμώντας παράλληλα το σπουδαίο έργο της Μαριάννας Βαρδινογιάννη. pic.twitter.com/pS1J1TW9ar
