On the first stop of a surprise holiday shopping spree inside the Riverhead Target, Valery, an Aquebogue Elementary School student, headed straight to the toy section.
When the young girl spotted something she liked, she politely turned to Leanne Simonsen, who accompanied her as she shopped, and asked if she could have it.
Of course, Ms. Simonsen would reply each time. After all, this day was about her.
“I would have bought her the whole store if I could have,” Ms. Simonsen said.
