Our community made a difference!


I am so excited!  So many friends and people from the community donated toward my project for Make a Difference Day 2015!

There are enough supplies to make MORE than the 25 kits I had a goal of making!

One thing I forgot that we still need is dollar bills for vending machines.  If you are able to donate
dollar bills or individually wrapped chocolates or hard candies, that would help a lot!

More Kits!!

Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee was able to use more kits, so we brought them in today!
According to our favorite nurse, families are so grateful to receive a "package" from someone who's been in their shoes and knows how hard it is to be sent to a big city for treatment, at just a moment's notice.

First kits delivered!

Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee was the first recipient of the hospital kits!
These kits are intended for parents of children who need to be transported by ambulance or air to Seattle for treatment.

Anthony approves of the kits.
