Henry's to the Moon Memories: toy drive

Today, was the three year anniversary of Henry's cancer diagnosis. Another hard day, but we were able to turn it into an amazing day. We donated toys to Randall Children's Hospital, in our first annual toy drive.
A lot of toys.
 More toys...
 Wow.
 Where's the carpet, and where's the couch!
 We are so lucky to have so many friends and family support us, and donate to our toy drive!
 I think by doing good things, it makes Henry's memory even stronger.
 So, the weather cooperated and we had Nick help us bring two vans worth of toys to the hospital.
 It doesn't do it justice, but we filled up a storage room with toys. Jessica, from Child Life, will sort and distribute over 450 toys. (plus another delivery will happen next week, due to delay in toy drop offs from the weather)


 Lucas, Owen, myself, and Jessica

After giving toys, we visited the fourth floor and day treatment. We saw some of our favorite nurses, and saw all of our oncologists. So many emotions, mostly good. This amazing group of people were, and are, such a big part of our lives. I love them all.

Today after my 4yr old sons chemo appointment he had the opportunity to receive one of the toys from your donation. It was a Zombie Brain Surgeon and he really loves it. God Bless your family and your little Angel <3
