Hard at work on their cards
Daniel & Laura Ann with the Child Life Coordinators
Daniel, Laura Ann & Kathy
Daniel heard me talking about a little girl with cancer who will be in the hospital through Christmas and suggested that we make cards & visit some kids like her who won't get to be home for Christmas. What a great idea! I called Dan's cousin, Kathy, who works at Children's Hospital and she got us in touch with some people in the Child Life Department to set something up. They suggested that we stick to goodies & cards to be passed out since you have to be 14 to visit. So, Daniel and Laura Ann got busy making cards for the 6 children in the burn unit & I bought puzzles & activity books to go with their cards. Kathy and 2 sweet girls from the Child Life department met us on Monday to get our goodies. We found out that there are lots of volunteers and donations at Christmas, but that it gets really thin throughout the rest of the year, so we are very excited about planning some service projects there in the upcomimg year with our group of friends. Look out Children's Hospital........here comes Kids of Compassion!!

I'm so proud of Daniel!
Such a wonderful idea!!! How can we join this Kids of Compassion group?!
I love this idea! I emailed Melissa the other day about what you all are getting together and doing with some of your kids. I am hoping to get a little group going here in Charleston. Let me know about some of the service projects you are working on...I need ideas! I also like the name of your group! Hope you all are doing well! Allison Bright
