On Tuesday, September 13, 2016, our family donated 190 of Alyssa's treasured beanie babies to Bread of Life in Malden, MA. Kathleen McKenna, a BOL representative, picked up the boxes of beanie babies at our home which will be distributed over time to homeless children served by the organization.
A special thank you to Rose Dittmer of St. Joseph Church in Wakefield for assisting our family in finding the perfect home for Alyssa's stuffed animals. Her memory will live on in the comfort and love that these beanie babies will provide to others.
