On every holiday, EVERY single one, many families are at the hospital with their child. They are unable to celebrate at home, and to be with their families and enjoy that special time away from trauma, surgery, or illness. Because I have a child with special medical and physical needs, I know first-hand how hard this can be. Lily, my daughter, has spent nearly every holiday at the hospital. We have spent two Mother's Day's, two of her birthdays, two Christmases and more at the hospital. (Not to mention, many days inbetween). There are families who endure years in the hospital, or months, and weeks. Though staff at the hospitals can be absolutely wonderful, it does not replace home.
This Mother's Day project is a way to pay forward the love and support that Lily and our family have received. To give Moms a day of hope, and love and a chance to be spoiled!
Please help us Spoil some Supermom's on Mother's Day Weekend 2016 (only 6 months away!) at Children's Hospital Colorado. Last year, (our first year) we gave more than 100 beautiful bags packed with books, nail polish, handmade blankets, coffee cozies, gift cards, jewelry, gift certificates for facials and photography, and much more! The Mothers were surprised and SO appreciative! AND the support was unbelievable from people all over the U.S., including many local businesses and non-profits. People came together to reach out to 100 Mom's - to bring them hope, and it was a beautiful experience!
This coming Mother's Day, we are starting off a little different. We are fundraising for the My 31 bags and microwaveable plates (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088CYQOS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A3P6ZH9SPGPR2M) first! They are the most needed and enjoyed for the Mom's. The My31 bags will be purchased from a Mom who has two children with a metabolic condition - I know her well, our kiddos have the same diagnosis :) We also need 150 lap-size blankets to be given to these Moms - they can be purchased or hand-made! So please start purchasing those and/or making them soon! We will host blanket parties for this as well and will keep you updated.
If you could spread the word about this fundraiser, I would really appreciate your help! To learn more visit http://www.childrenscolorado.org/about/news/2015/mother-s-day-surprise Thank you!!
