The Eric Schonhoff Story

Eric Schonhoff was one of the first recipients of the Guardian Angel Project in October 2003. Eric was a patient at the Children's Hospital of Iowa when we made our very first visit and was given one of the programs guardian angel figurines that year. As you will read Eric's actions in the days that followed our brief meeting has deeply impacted the program, so much so that we have dedicated the Guardian Angel Project to his memory. The following is a letter from Eric's mother Shelly written to Sgt. Ivan Parrish the programs coordinator.
