Joe and I have been so blessed to be able to take our youth group down a few times a year and give back to an organization that truly gives so much to this community. This year we will be going down the day before Easter to provide a meal and bless the families who will be spending the holiday away from home. Along with the meal we will be putting on a mini carnival with a bounce house, games and an Easter Egg hunt for the siblings of the hospitalized children who are staying at the RMH. We hope to provide a day of smiles, laughter and hope as we bless these families and make their day a little brighter.
And this is where you come in!
We are hoping to provide every child, or at least every family, with a filled Easter basket. So whether you can proved a filled basket, items for a basket or a basket itself we could use your help!
This is a great way to get your family or friends involved! Your kids or grandkids can help you purchase items or make a basket or you can even throw a basket filling party! If you are looking for a way to touch some hearts this Easter Season this is a great way to get involved. Joe and I can both share many stories of how simple acts like this warmed our hearts during our stays at the RMH. Watching our kids faces light up when groups came in and offered even simple crafts helped us find joy even during the hardest part of our stay.
Let me know if you would like to donate in any way! I can even do on Orange County pick up if anyone is interested up there =0)
