Venus DeJesus told the television station he does not regret his decision to give up what most would call a “dream gig” to work in the hospital’s cafeteria baking gourmet desserts for the facility’s pediatric patients.
“Sometimes I’ll deliver the food but I don’t tell them I made it. I just want them to enjoy … I just want them to forget about their pain for a second,” Mr. DeJesus said. “If the kids are happy, I am happy.”
He told WFAA News 8 he has no plans to retire any time soon. But if he does, he plans to come back and volunteer at the hospital, according to the report.
