Good morning all,
Bit of a long post but worth the read if you can spare a few mins.
In the spirit of the holidays and giving I wanted to share this.
This is a longtime client family turned friends over the years. Their youngest Lily is always handing down her toys and clothes to Tierney and many others. She has such a beautiful caring giving soul. She had a bit of a health scare this year and through her experience this is what she has taken away from it. Read her story and mission below. If you can find it in your heart to help her reach her goal I would be extremely grateful.
This holiday season, Lily is coordinating a gift collection for the pediatric patients at Jersey Shore Medical Center. It is her goal to make sure that the pediatric patients have a little extra holiday cheer. Here is the why...
Some of you know that earlier this fall, after a routine doctors visit, the pediatrician referred Lily to the genetics team at Jersey Shore Medical Center to have her tested for Neurofibromatosis Type 1. Knowing nothing about this condition, Paul and I were scared. We were referred to a genetics team at Jersey Shore Medical Center / Hope Tower. From the minute that we stepped off the elevator everyone was so kind and caring to Lily. If you have ever met Lily, of course she had a ton of questions. The team was great at explaining everything and keeping everyone thinking positive. After a long 8 weeks of waiting for the test results, we found out that Lily tested negative for NF1. Thank you for all your prayers!
Lily asked a lot of questions throughout this process but perhaps the most important one was what could she do to help the other kids. So, here it is! LILY'S HOLIDAY GIFT COLLECTION! She has created an Amazon wish list in case you need help with ideas. Donations can be sent directly to her or dropped off at our house. She will sort them, with the help of her sisters, and deliver them the week of December 5th. All donations will go directly to the pediatric patients! Thank you for your support!
