Pediatric Hem/Onc Units Surprise Box Collection Help Needed

7/8/2014

We've completed and mailed our NICU surprise boxes (second blog to come soon) and we're getting our Pediatric Hem/Onc. Unit surprise boxes together and to draw names very soon when we realized there is still going to be lots of room in the box and we'd love to fill it all the way up! 

Filling the boxes to the brim not only makes the shipping cost better...lol...but it also opened the door for bringing those extra smiles to the faces of children battling a variety of hematology and oncology diagnoses. These children spend a catastrophic amount of time in and out of the hospital and sometimes just cooped up in their own home because they risk a hospital admission being around those that might be sick. Now is that just children with cancer, absolutely not, that is ANY medically fragile child, I definitely understand that, but we're just focusing on that particular realm in the medical universe at the moment (just didn't want any to feel like their child's medical journey wasn't near as critical to us).

So here's where we need help - we need help collecting some additional items for these surprise boxes, this is the fun part for your family, especially the kiddos, to participate in. The items we're looking to collect to add to the chemotherapy bag covers we're making and sending are:

Band-aids - they get lots of sticks and blood draws, so what's a great way to help brighten the event? An awesome, colorful Band-Aid. Doesn't matter the characters, designs or brand, just fun for a child to sport after getting their blood draw or an IV removed.

And stickers - remember last December when we mailed off a HUGE box of stickers for Maggie's Sticker Box? We decided she was on to such a great idea and that while our chemotherapy bag covers will get used, eventually the hospital will run out and need something else to brighten a little (or big) one's day with and these work great as well to make those ugly bags, slightly more fun. 

Where can you send them too?

Our mailing address is: 
Gracie's Gowns, Inc.
P.O. BOX 1446
Spotsylvania, VA 22553-1446

If you'd rather send a gift card to any retailer that sells one or both items that is fabulous as well, and we can always catch the sales and clearances in our local area to make the best of each penny received. Once our boxes are ready to go, we will announce the two hospitals to receive a surprise box from Gracie's Gowns. This will be a continuous project as we have the items to send out to more hospitals.

Much Love and Many Blessings,
Gracie's Gowns
