‘Adam's Corner' Dedicated at the Fisher House in Dallas

A big donation to the Fisher House in Dallas will help keep kids busy while their family members receive treatment at the Dallas VA Medical Center.

The Veterans Network Employee Resource Group at NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 recently donated books, games, movies, and coloring books to the Fisher House.

There's now a special section set up inside the house just for the kids.

The Fisher House offers a place for Veterans to stay, with their family members, while receiving treatment at the VA Hospital.

That includes kids that may need to stay as well, so the goal of "Adam's Corner" was to give those kids a place to be a kid.

NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 employees cut the ribbon on "Adam's Corner" on Saturday.

"Adam's Corner" is named after Cpl. Adam Garcia who died while serving in Iraq back in 2006. Adam was 20 years old at the time. His mom, Cynthia, is the Assignment Manager for Telemundo 39.
