GIFT CARD DRIVE SUCCESS!

We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU out to the following people and organizations, who helped to make our Gift Card Drive a big success! Gift Cards and cash donations brought in a whopping $470 for families with critically ill children at CCMC!

These gift cards to Friendly's, Build-a-Bear, Starbucks, Applebees, Stop and Shop, Dunkin Donuts, and Subway were packaged up for delivery to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center Foundation today, and will go a long way in letting these families know that others are thinking of them. Thank you so much for helping us honor our daughter Peyton's memory in such a special way!

None of this would be possible without our amazing donors! So, without further ado, Thank you so much:

We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU out to

Liz and Gene Roberts of Brookfield, CT

for sending in the following batch of donations!

Liz and Gene, who are Peyton's maternal grandparents, have continuously donated to this initiative since it began, and they blessed us again with a nice batch of goodies for Danbury Hospital's NICU.

Isn't this dress just so precious?

THANK YOU SO MUCH LIZ AND GENE!

Thank You Betsy Beasley!

We would like to send a Huge Thank You out to

Betsy Beasley of Glen Allen, VA

for her incredible generosity.

Knowing how difficult preemie items are to come by, Betsy makes a habit of buying these items when she sees them, and donating them to area NICU's. We are so touched that she has once again chosen to help support our initiative with all of these beautiful preemie outfits.

All told, Betsy sent us an incredible 11 pairs of preemie pajamas, as well as 5 wonderful three-piece outfits that we know are just going to make someone's day in the NICU at Danbury Hospital!

THANK YOU SO MUCH BETSY!

Thank You Karen of the blog Busy Hands!

We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU 

out to Karen of the blog Busy Hands

for knitting for us this lovely donation.

Karen lost her beloved son, George Patrick Andrew, to stillbirth in May of 2009. She knitted these beautiful hats in his memory to be worn by pre-term stillborn babies, which can then be taken home by the parents as a tangible keepsake of their child.

These tiny hats are so lovely and we know they will mean so much to the families who receive them.

Thank you so much Karen!

Thank You St. Mary School In Newington, CT

We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU out to

The Students, Staff and Families of 

St. Mary School, Newington, CT

St. Mary School runs a ministry called A Cuddle and a Prayer Blankie Ministry in which they create handmade fleece blankets for donation. We were lucky to be the recipients of a batch of these beautiful blankies on behalf of the new NICU at Danbury Hospital, and we had the pleasure of delivering these blankies last week.

The students at St. Mary School created these wonderful blankies to the size specifications of NICU isolettes, and I know that they will bring great comfort to the children and families who receive them!

Please be sure to check out St. Mary School's A Cuddle and a Prayer Blankie Ministry website here.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ST. MARY SCHOOL!
