Our family is helping to start a new tradition this year: Luke's Tree! Luke's Tree is dedicated to the memory of our angel, Luke. We have asked heart families from Le Bonheur to send us wish lists for the holiday season. A tree will be placed in Le Bonheur and it will be filled with these heart wishes.
Having a child in the hospital can be draining, emotionally as well as financially. We feel that by helping these heart families through gift giving this season, we can help ease some of the financial burdens that they are facing. Our goal is to make this holiday season happier for families who are facing an uncertain future. Please join us in healing hearts...one gift at a time.
What can you do to help?
* Visit the tree in the Le Bonheur CVICU and choose a heart. Each heart represents a family and has the number of family members as well as their ages on it. Choose a heart and contact lukestree@yahoo.com to get the family's wish list. Don't worry if you can't adopt an entire family...we have plenty of individual wishes to be fulfilled! Please return the gifts (wrapped and labeled) by December 20th.
* E-mail lukestree@yahoo.com for a wish idea. Send the amount you would like to spend and we will respond with a wish idea that matches the amount. We will arrange for drop-off/pick-up together.
We hope that Luke's Tree will be a tradition that grows each year. With your help, we will be able to help these heart families enjoy the holiday season without the financial stresses that so many families with chronically ill children face each day. God bless you all!
