Sudbury.com is launching this year's 12 Days of Kindness with an emotional surprise for a very special family.
Twelve-year-old Hailey Gauthier said she wasn't looking forward to Christmas this year.
That's because Hailey will undergo brain surgery to remove a tumour just two weeks before Christmas Day.
With a little help from a family friend and three generous partners, we surprised Hailey and her family at their home to help lift their spirits and ease a bit of their financial burden.
Watch the video above to see what happened.
A special thank you to Best Buy for putting a smile on Hailey's face and thank you to the Silver Hotel Group and Bond Place Hotel for helping this family get through this trying time.
Join us at Sudbury.com every weekday morning through to Dec. 22 as we surprise a deserving family, person or organization as part of our 12 Days of Kindness.
