MedStar is accepting nominations through Monday, Oct. 16 for children who need medical support and want to go trick-or-treating.
This is the 10th year MedStar has done the program. It is designed to help children with medical restrictions who would not normally get to go trick-or-treating.
MedStar would pick up the child and their family on October 29th in a fully decorated MedStar ambulance and take them to a specially selected neighborhood in Fort Worth.
The child will be escorted on a stretcher, with full medical support, until their candy bag is full.
