Heather Hendricksen hasn't added a story.
In August 2011, Nathaniel "Nate" Hendricksen was stillborn at Carolinas Medical Center - Main. It was an incredibly trying time for Marc and I, as we looked for ways to make sense of something so tragic. In doing so, we decided to share life with others through our struggle! Every year, we run a fundraiser to help children and families in our honor of our son.
This year is no exception, and we've decided to do so by giving back to the hospital that not only saw us through those trying times, but other times as our second-born was admitted shortly after his birth to the PICU. We became well-acquainted with Child Life and others during our week-long stay. Through that later process, we saw a need for something to brighten the day of those that were in-patient at the hospital.
As such, this year we've decided to run a book drive for Atrium Health's Levine Children's (at CMC-Main). Partnering with Usborne Books & More will make our donations go further with their 50% Matching Grant, so we'll be able to give 50% more books to the hospital's in-patient children! As such, we are working towards a goal of $2500, which would allow us to donate 100 Cuddle Bear sets (a book and a plush bear is $25) to their Child Life program to be distributed to children at the hospital who are in need of that special brightening of their day! And with the matching grant, we'll be able to provide an additional 50 sets! That's 150 sets to these special children!
And what is even better that that? UBAM donates a portion of every Cuddle Bear sold to the Scott Carter Foundation for Pediatric Cancer patients! So your donation stretches even further during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month!
Please partner with us on this amazing fundraising opportunity,
#InHonorofNate and all of those children sick and in need of cheering
up during their hospital stay. A $50 donation will supply three
children with Cuddle Bear sets. ANY DONATION helps towards our goal,
and anything will be matched at 50%! Would you like to partner with us
and Usborne Books & More to brighten these children's day?
Thank you so much for your support!
