Our love for Chris Pratt has only blossomed after his latest good deed.
The “Guardians Of The Galaxy” star recently took a trip to Seattle Children’s Hospital in Washington and spent time with patients there. Pratt shared some photos from the visit on Instagram alongside some sweet words about the experience.
“Thank you @seattlechildrens for the opportunity to come by and brighten some days,” he wrote on the social media platform. “My heart is full.”
The actor handed out gifts, chatted with patients and took photos with the kids. He also made a trip to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where he met preemie twins Coen and Zion. Pratt’s 4-year-old son, Jack, also had a premature birth, and ever since, the actor has had a “special affinity for the NICU,” he wrote on Instagram.
The visit definitely did not disappoint the kids at the hospital. Carrie Windham, mother to one of the patients, wrote a blog post expressing gratitude for the incredible experience.
“In what have been some very difficult days here in this hospital, it is once again so refreshing to be reminded that there are such great people in the world,” Windham wrote.
“It’s not just a smile, a hand shake, a signature, a toy ... it’s faith in humanity restored. Thank you Chris Pratt. Thank you Star-Lord,” she added, referencing Pratt’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy” character.
