Mariah Leskovac, 10, second from left, and her sister, Destiny, 13, third from left, created Mariah’s Destiny to collect donations of new items such as toys and games for sick children. The idea evolved from Mariah’s cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. The sisters received donations at their church, Trinity Lutheran in Niles, where the Rev. Dee Emmert, left, is pastor. Accepting donations is Sue Neitz, right, stem-cell transplant coordinator at Akron Children’s Hospital.
