Jaedyn Williams, of Crestview, sits beside some of the gifts he recently distributed to patients at the Ronald McDonald House and Sacred Heart Children's Hospital.

CRESTVIEW — Patients at the Ronald McDonald House and Sacred Heart Children's Hospital will have a merrier Christmas after a local boy ensured they would receive gifts.

Jaedyn Williams — who had gathered donations since February — recently delivered a number of items to Northwest Florida children. 

He distributed, among other things:

●77 stuffed animals

●30 blankets,

●38 packs of crayons

●42 coloring books

●64 reading books

"Between the two places, Jaedyn was able to bless others just by showing up and reassuring them they are not alone and not forgotten!" Cassey, his mother, said.
