Two Amazing Donations! Thank You Jennifer Guerrini! Thank You Rick & Lisa Dreher!

On our visit to the Post Office today, we were excited to find two envelopes with donations for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center Foundation.

We would like to send out a
HUGE THANK YOU
to Jennifer Guerrini of Rocky Hill, CT
and Rick and Lisa Dreher, of Morris CT
for their incredibly generosity!
With these donations added to the tally,
we have now raised $680 in cash donations!
Unbelievable!

We are so moved by this, because we know first hand about all of the good that can be done with these funds, providing financial assistance in the form of food and parking vouchers, etc, to the families of critically ill babies at CCMC!

Thank You So Much Jennifer!
Thank You So Much Rick & Lisa!

Thank You Cheri Wanek

Just look at this beautiful blanket donated by
Cheri Wanek, of Bethlehem CT.
Cheri crocheted this especially for our collection. It is just beautiful, and will bring such comfort to any baby girl lucky enough to be wrapped in it.



Thank You So Much Cheri!

A musical donation!

Thank you so, so much to Catherine W. for her generosity.
We received this lovely CD in the mail yesterday.





Catherine W. had already generously donated two CD's for the children at Connecticut Children's Medical Center through Amazon.com, so to receive a third gift from her, really blew us away. Catherine W., who is from the United Kingdom, smartly ordered through Amazon's American site, and therefore didn't have to pay international shipping! What a wonderful idea.

Anyone who has had a critically ill infant, knows how hectic and out of place life in the hospital can feel. This CD of sweet lullaby's will bring alot of comfort to CCMC's little ones, and the parents who care for them. A comfort that comes from having some sense of "normal" in their room. This wonderful music will help to drown out the background noise (monitors, busy hallways, etc) that is life in a hospital, and allow these little babies the important rest they need to keep up the good fight, as well as bring some peace to the minds of their parents.

THANK YOU CATHERINE W!

****
We have been so pleased with the outpouring of donations that have been coming in so far, and hope that we can make this collection for CCMC a real success! Be sure to read above for the many ways that you can help.

Keep 'em coming...

A picture is worth a thousand words right? Remember I told you in my last post about the generous donation we received from a local family? Well here, I have decided to post a photo of this great haul. (My apologies that the pics are unclear, I am using my camera phone.)





Thank you so much, Paradise Family!

Then today, on my visit to the post office, I was excited to see another box full of goodies arrive!



These items are actually from the mother of the woman who donated the above items. This family's generosity has touched our hearts, and will mean so much for CCMC's critically ill infants. You have no idea what a difference it makes to have your child dressed in something bright and fun, rather than just a hospital receiving blanket. These outfits do wonders to keep little ones warm, and to warm the hearts of those who care for them.

Thank you so much, Carol Jones!

Additionally, thanks to another generous donation that came today by way of a check, we have now raised $120 for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center Foundation.

Thank you so much, Ms. Maria Blatz!

We are off to a good start, but we still have a ways to go. Please prayerfully consider helping out if you can. Any donation, big or small, whether cash, gift card, or item (see list above) are greatly appreciated and go a long way towards assisting these critically ill infants and their families. And remember... these donations are all tax deductible.

FIRST DONATION!

Just a little update....This is just the beginning, and we are off to a great start. This site has had over 500 views in it's first few days. We are up to 21 followers and the word is spreading. Best of all, today we received our first donation! We know that the critically ill infants at Connecticut Children's Medical Center and their families will truly appreciate the food and parking vouchers that today's donation will provide, and look forward to seeing this initiative grow. Together, we know it can be a huge success for these little warriors and their families.

Thank you so much, Dolzadelli Family, 
for being the first to donate!

Off To A Great Start

This site been up only a few days, and already we have begun receiving messages of support for The Connecticut Children's Medical Center initiative. What better way to enter the holiday season, than by embracing the spirit of giving? Parenting a critically ill child can leave you feeling helpless and isolated. Together, through these donations, we can make a real difference by sending the message that these little ones, and their families, are not alone, and that there are people striving to make their stay in the hospital a little easier. Even the smallest of gestures can leave a huge imprint on someone's heart.
