Gift of Love

Inspired by her niece's compassionate response to children living with cancer, Sheila Duncan brought to life an imperfect, playful dog character named "Trouble." Today, Trouble is the star of three children's books, as well as a plush toy which has made its way into the arms of children experiencing trauma everywhere: Shriners Hospitals for Children, The Ronald McDonald House, and Children's Miracle Network, to name a few. Sheila shares the story of Trouble's birth, a moment she calls "divinely inspired," and the journey she has walked with this happy creature which has brought joy into the lives of so many children.
