Transported Family Bags

Transported Family Bags

When transporting family bags first started, we filled them with Hygiene products and snack foods. Over time, we have adapted and diversified our bags to better suit the needs of the families. Why are these needed? 

The Pacific islands are situated in such a way that each island may not have all of the specialty services a patient needs, so the child will be transported to the island of O'ahu. A family member is often brought along for comfort and care; however, that family member may not have been planning such an adventure as often this is an emergency. Therefore, they have nothing; these bags help them to be able to clean up a little and feel more ready for this time. In a few days, they may be able to get some luggage shipped over, in the meantime, this is what they will have. 

Each Transported family bag has the following inside:

1. Insulated lunch bag

2. Shampoo, Conditioner, body soap 

3. Toothbrush and toothpaste

4. Small journal and pens

5. Lotion, vanity set

6. Hairbrush with hair binders

7. Comb

8. Phone charging cable

9. Washcloth

Optional items delivered to playroom / social work for as-needed use: Shave kit, Feminine Hygiene Products, Laundry Soap/Softener.
