Thank You To Everyone That Has Made This Possible!

Well yesterday was the big day. I dropped off all the donations. Our first stop was CMC-University where we donated 10 items, second was CMC-Northeast where 14 was delivered, then we made our way over to Presbyterian Main where we donated 60 outfits. And lastly the Levine Children's Hospital where everything started. We got to the Levine Children's Hospital at around 2pm. We donated a total of 220 outfits and about 200 hats and 100 booties. There was enough outfits donated to Levine so that each child could receive 2 outfits each.

I know I told everyone that I would take pictures of the big day, but I totally forgot my camera and wasn't able to take any. It was great though. It was the first time I have been back to the NICU since Carly passed away. I was able to speak to one of her old doctors, Dr. Hicky, and see another in passing. I also got the chance to speak to Tony, one of Carly's NNP's while I was there.

Well after making all those stops yesterday and shipping out the 2 packages that we did the other day i still have a closet FULL of clothing. I will go back to the Levine Children Hospital every three months till everything is donated. I will then start the drive again this January 1st 2010.

I would like to thank everyone who helped out by donating clothing. By your efforts we were able to help more babies than ever expected. And through your help we will be able to help babies for the rest of this year. I would also like to thank everyone who donated monetary donations. You money has helped to purchase more clothing to help more families. You money has also help to pay for shipping cost to send the donation packages to Duke University and NC Children's Hospital. Thank you to those of you who couldn't donate anything but helped us by telling others that could help. Thank you to everyone who prayed for this drive to be a huge success. You prayers truly meant a lot to us. God truly blessed this drive 10 times over, so thank you. You all are what made this possible.

I'm so sorry about not having any pictures. I feel so bad about that. I feel like I could kick myself. I promise you that when I make another drop of donations this June I won't forget my camera, and every time following, especially the BIG donation day March 9th of every year.

Again, THANKS!!!!
