Sixteen years ago, we made our first drop-off to commemorate her first birthday and remember what it meant for us to see Danya in her first outfit after days and days of being under and how it meant that recovery was slowly happening. Each year, our donation grew, our relationship with the hospital and the child life program grew, and we learned of new needs or ways to adapt the projects we did.
Eight years ago, we started to make more and more of an impact in our community. Since then, we have been blessed with a couple of grants, applied for 501(c)3, and we have met so many more people to help us along the way.
In September of 2023, we donated our biggest donation ever to act as our very notable "16th Birthday Donation."
We worked very hard assembling our kits for this very large donation. However, we could not have done it without the help of:
Waipahu High School
Girl Scout Troop 590
Girl Scout Troop 230
Girl Scout Troop 329
And many more who wish to remain anonymous!
We thank you all for your contribution and hope that our 18th donation will continue to grow in size and sustainability for the Kapiolani Hospital!
We donated 139 kits, 50 Transported Family Bags, and 72 miscellaneous toys for the Kapiolani Playroom.
Today, we have developed some highly needed projects. You can learn about those on the home page. These projects have reached hundreds of families this year, and we have just made contact with a second hospital and will need to expand our donation drives to meet the needs of 2 hospitals. We are very excited about what the future holds.
