Here's your feel-good story of the day

On occasion, the internet can be used for good.  In this case, it can also be used to rally good people in support of sick children.

Two-year-old Hazel Hammersley was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in April, and she is currently in the Los Angeles Children's Hospital undergoing chemotherapy treatment.  She's also a big fan of pizza:

Fox News reports:

A hospital had to emphatically ask people to stop sending pizza after a child being treated for cancer received more than 20 pizzas from Internet strangers in one day.

Reddit user “ashortstorylong” posted a photo of a sign in the window of a hospital that said: “Send Pizza RM 4112″ with the headline: “Photo taken outside Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. Smart Kid.”

The post reached the front page of Reddit, and other Reddit users later commented and said they’d taken the liberty to send pizza to the hospital room. On Saturday, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles posted a picture of the young patient enjoying the pizza, along with some details about her and her family.

According to a post on the hospital’s website, the patient’s mother, Lauren Hammersley, said the compassionate Reddit users have made a little girl very happy, “but NO MORE PIZZA IS NEEDED.”

According to the family, the sign in the window went unnoticed for a few days, but once it hit the internet, more than 20 boxes of pizza flowed in from anonymous strangers.

“We have been absolutely humbled and surprised by the outpouring of love and support from the online community and can only hope and pray that this brings awareness to Neuroblastoma and the Childhood Cancer Community,” the family posted on its blog.
