* Students inspire others to give
A 17-year-old special education student donated the coins she had collected for years. A woman whose infant was treated at Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford wrote a check. And a retired elevator operator brought in a bucket of change so heavy that he had to use a dolly to carry it.
Like hundreds of other Mercury News readers, they were touched by the story of 5-year-old Hayden Chavarria. The brown-haired San Jose boy gave up his life savings -- $33 in change emptied out of his rocket-shaped piggy bank -- to provide seed money to replace his kindergarten classroom's stolen computer."
