We have been given some very difficult trials and challenges. Through those challenges, we have been able to witness love and service in a way few get to experience. We have been the recipients of more acts of love and kindness than we could ever count. We have been so very blessed, and we have a desire to pay it forward as much as possible.
Every year since August’s birth, I have done a service project of some kind for his birthday. It has been therapeutic for me to look outside of myself and the difficult day his birthday can be. I have never included others in my projects, but this year we have decided to. We are so excited to be putting together care packages for parents of kids in the hospital.
We are looking for donations of money and also items. Items can be dropped off at our house (contact me for address if you need it). You can donate through our fundraiser on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/donate/489713131896386/10159025558976729/ You can also donate through Paypal or Venmo. Contact me for info.
All funds collected will go toward purchasing items for the kits. The kits will be donated to Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake first, followed by Davis Hospital, and then Primary Childrens depending on how much we are able to raise.
