Our Successful Meeting with USA CWH!!

Wow, yesterday was super busy!!!
Hope and I met with Michelle, Brenda and Robin to show them the "welcome basket" that we want to provide for inpatient parents. They were very appreciative of what we are trying to do.
They will be contacting parents in the hospital and giving them our phone numbers, email, etc. so they can contact us if they want to. We are limited on contact because of privacy issues: the parents must call us first. That is where the social workers will be helpful to us.

The basket contained the following items - if you can help provide any of these, please let me know. We are open to ALL donated items!

Plastic bucket - Big Lots - $2
Clear or purple cellophane wrap (like for Easter baskets)
Purple, green and/or gold wide ribbon for a bow
Spiral notebook & pen
Pocket Calendar - Walmart $2
Small Address/phone directory
Lysol wipes canister (not the large one)
emery board
travel size shampoo/conditioner (just not a baby brand), hand lotion
chapstick
small microwaveable meals, soups, etc
popcorn
purse size bottle of hand sanitizer
small packet of Tums, Tylenol, Advil
small pack of thank you notes - Big Lots $1
feminine products
cheap digital thermometers ($10)
