Despite temperatures nearing triple digits, Santa Claus made a house call on Wednesday to The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda.
In partnership with Montgomery County Police, The Inn held their annual Christmas in July event.
The Inn provides free housing for seriously ill children, teens, and young adults participating in leading-edge research studies at NIH. “While the NIH takes care of the child’s medical needs, The Inn tends to the child’s heart, soul and spirit,” according to the nonprofit established in 1990.
