Christmas Drive

This December marks the one year anniversary of when our sweet little lamb became an angel. We are doing a drive in his memory for Valley Children's Hospital.

We want to deliver these packages to the hospital around December 15th and are asking for the following items:

*backpacks or tote bags

*books (for all ages)

*stuffed animals

*blankets (baby-teen)

*small toys

*journals or notebooks

*coloring books or activity books

*crayons, color pencils and pens

*toiletries (NICU parents)

*tethers and baby toys

*baby socks and hats

*on the go snacks (granola bars, protein bars, etc)

These are just some ideas of the kind of things we'd like to include in our packages. We are putting together care packages for newborn to age 19 as well as parents in the NICU. Often times parents are too worried for their babies that they forget to eat themselves or even pack the essentials like a toothbrush or hairbrush. Adult coloring books and puzzle books are a great thing for NICU parents as well because often times there are long stretches of time when they cannot hold their baby so they just sit at their side These items would give them a much needed break as well as relieve some stress. 

We are also having an online Jewelry in Candles party to raise money to purchase items for these care packages. This party will be active until 10/09/2016 and 100% of the commission is going to buying more items for children's hospital. Click here to shop our Jewelry in Candles party

CDH Awareness Tshirts

With CDH awareness week only 49 days away we started our tshirt fundraiser.

Please help us spread awareness by buying one of these great shirts.

The money helps us raise awareness to our local hospitals and community.

This fundraiser will last only 2 weeks so get your shirts while you can!!

Please spread the word and the link.

The money raised will be going to print awareness pamphlets,

items to comfort the kids admitted into the hospital,

and spreading awareness to our community.

Here's what we wrote on the fundraiser page:

We are raising money to spread awareness to our local hospitals and community about Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, a deadly birth defect. My son was born 7/14/11 with CDH and survived. CDH affects 1 in every 2500 births. There is no known cause. 50% of babies born with CDH do NOT survive. Most people have never heard of CDH unless they or someone they know has been affected. We want to change this by spreading awareness as well as helping CDH Families.

CDH Awareness Celebration Balloon Release

We're busy putting together our biggest event yet, the CDH Awareness Balloon Release as part of our celebration for CDH Awareness Week! Congress recognizes March 31st as CDH Awareness day, but this year Breath Of Hope is going for CDH Awareness WEEK! Yes you read that right, WEEK! And S4L is on board with this idea. On Saturday March 30th We will be doing a balloon release in Visalia CA in celebration of CDH Awareness week and to honor CDH survivors as well as CDH Angels. We are also selling CDH Awareness items to raise money for CDH Research. We have the date, March 30th, but we are still organizing the place and time.

 

And for our readers that live too far awar to attend or for whatever reason cannot attend, don't fret, we have an option that allows you to "participate":

 

 

We have CDH Awareness Items available for sale. They are available now as well as at the event.

 

The teal CDH Awareness Macreme bracelet has been very popular and its hard to keep them in stock. They are $10 w/ free shipping. Because its so hard to keep them in stock it could take up to 4 weeks (sometimes longer) for you to get yours. We know the wait isnt ideal but we are very happy that so many of you have stuck with us even through the long wait time.

 

The Bling Awareness Bracelet has had many people interested even though I havent been able to offer teal for CDH Awareness. A few people order pink for their little ones currently fighting CDH or who have survived. This bracelet comes on Clear, Red and Pink only. Still trying to find a vendor that sells teal. They are $10 w/ free shipping and can also take a long period of time to come in as well.
