Help us help families at CMH

Lydia is turning 2 in one week - June 14!  

Last year for her birthday we hosted a blanket drive to donate to Children's Mercy Hospital. It was a huge success!  I'm still overwhelmed by the generosity.  This year we're collecting snacks for the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Children's Mercy Hospital.  

During Lydia's 6 surgeries, we've waited in the Family Room each time. It's a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the hospital for families to rest. During Lydia's 3 months in the hospital we made several trips, almost daily, to the Family Room. They provide coffee, snacks, lunch and dinners to families with kids in the hospital. 

If you would like to contribute, please bring store-bought individually wrapped snacks to one of us at work or home.

Thanks to several people who have contributed already!  
I promise not to eat any before delivery, not even the nutty bars! 

Dan is in Corporate Woods near College and Antioch.
Kinsley is at the library on 87th Street in OPKS.
Marcia (my mom!) is at Crown Center, near downtown.

Just call or text to set up a time.
