On December 22nd we braved the fog and the hour drive to Valley Children's to deliver gifts just in time for Christmas. Thank you every who donated to our annual Christmas drive in memory of Liam Michael Bryant. We delivered the following with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts because we know that these gifts will put smiles on the kids in the hospital:
59 complete care packages
Plus the following loose toys:
16 bubble wands
5 tea sets
1 nerf sport toy
6 coloring books
29 stuffed animals
If you don't see the items you donated listed above, it's because they were put into a care package. Each care package included at the least:
1 toy
1 stuffed animal
1 book or coloring book
crayons, color pencils or markers to go with the coloring books
Some care packages included blankets
NICU care packages included stuffed animals, socks, hat, book, blanket and toothbrush for a parent.
I know each kid loved every toy, every blanket, every stuffed animal. Thank you for helping us help make their Christmas's a little brighter.
(Involving kids in our mission is something I strive for with each event/donation. Liam's big sister Lanie, the blonde in the middle, is always involved in every aspect of Shooting for Liam. From picking out items to donate, to putting together care packages and planning picnic's, she's right there by my side.)
We are already working on next years drive so if you didn't get a chance to donate this year, know you still help with next years. We are now accepting donations for 2017.
Thank you everyone for helping us do something great in memory of our sweet little lamb.
