“This has to be the most special snowman ever!”
Storm Emma covered the country in a blanket of snow ever since it arrived last week, with children throughout the country making the most of the weather and building snowman, going sledding and playing outside.
And one team of nurses at a Dublin hospital went above and beyond to make sure that the patients didn’t miss out on the snowy fun.
Little Holly has spent the last 11 months at Our Lady’s Children Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin, waiting on a heart transplant.
But when Storm Emma arrived, the team at the ICU didn’t want the young girl to miss out on the chance to build a snowman.
Since she was unable to head out to play in the snow, the team decided to bring some of it to her.
Two of the kind hearted nurses went outside with some giant buckets, which they filled with snow – before bringing it in on a little tray for Holly to play with.

After getting some gloves, Holly was able to build a pretty impressive snowman.
Heart Children Ireland shared the photos on Twitter, where they quickly went viral.
They later updated the thread to include some photos of the nurses as they brought in the snow.

The tweet quickly went viral, getting more than 1,300 retweets and 5,000 likes.
Following the outpouring of support, Heart Children Ireland later added:
“Holly’s parents Jessica & Jamie are so appreciative to the staff in ICU Crumlin for this beautiful gesture.”
