Lena Perry, 5, of St. Thomas likes to play dress up and don costumes as princesses and super heroes, but two weeks ago, while playing on monkey bars, she fell, causing a compound fracture to her left arm.
Her aunt, Penny Powers of Aylmer, sometimes looks after her niece, and takes her along on shopping trips to the IDA store downtown.
Last Friday, store employee Suzy Zimmer gave the injured Lena, who’d dressed as a princess for the day, a special welcome, donning a Winnie the Pooh costume to greet the youngster. Fellow staff members also presented her with some treats they’d purchased for her to lift her spirits.
