Chicago’s Children’s Hospital is the lucky receiver of a surprise 18 million gift from Gladys Holm. She once was a secretary who never earned more than $15,000 a year and never married. She lived alone in a small flat in Chicago, and was a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital. She was called the “Teddy Bear Lady” because she brought toy animals to sick children on her regular visits. But Miss Holm, who died in 1996 at the age of 86, was also a longtime buyer of stocks(股票).Over the years, she saved money that rose up to 18 million, which she left to the Children’s Hospital. It was the largest single donation in the hospital’s 115-year history.
