This is our 8th year sending our holiday care packages and we sent them to 52 children with batten disease all over the United States. We hope they give the families a small amount of joy during a holiday that can be stressful caring for their critically ill children. These care packages included items such as new bed sheets, neck pillows, cozy pajamas, toiletries, gift cards and lots of love. This year we had over 75 individual donors from all over contribute to our holiday care packages. We are thankful to continue to have so much support toward this project, with donations from NH, MA, VT, CT, AZ, MD, PA, SC, NC, WV and FL. We also received many beautiful, handcrafted items to go into the packages such as fleece hats, pillowcases, quilts, ornaments, holiday cards and pictures. We thank Eastern Bank, in Bedford New Hampshire, who helped as always, hosting a holiday giving tree in their front lobby to collect gifts. Thank you to Southern NH National Charity League (Mother’s and Daughter Volunteer Organization) for their donations and support.
