Hi everyone!
I am so sorry I haven't post anything on here yet! When I made the page, I was out in Phoenix. Then we left for Myrtle Beach, and now I am finally back home! Now that I have time to post on my page, I figured I would write a little bit about my care packages, and what we do!
To start things off, I am 18 and I start college in a few weeks to become a Pediatric Oncology Nurse!
I started volunteering at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Ronald McDonald House of Memphis in October 2013. I was only planning on volunteering there once, but boy was I wrong. I ended up loving it so much so I decided I wanted to do something more. I decided that I actually wanted to go visit kids on a personal level, and help make their days brighter.
My very first recipient of my care packages (which at the time, I did not have a name) that I can actually very well remember was a sweet girl who is now more like a sister. Her name is Mary Elizabeth and she 12 years old and is fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I feel that because of her, she has helped me realize why I do these.
I make care packages, unique to each recipient, and I hand deliver them to each patient when I am in Memphis once, sometimes twice or more, a month.
If you are or someone you know is a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, and are interested in a care package, please message me and I will get back to you ASAP!
