2021 Jacob's Joy of Giving

Hello Friends,

Since Jacob's passing on January 2, 2017, it has been on my "Mama Bear" heart to help the families of children in the hospital during the holiday season. Being in the hospital ourselves during this time of year in 2016, I was so touched with all of the extras the hospitals and other organizations would do for families. From special crafts, to toys and book giveaways and special appearances from NBA Stars, I now have several tangible items and moments that remind me of those special moments with my little angel. It is my desire to spread JOY in honor and memory of our son Jacob. I pray his beautiful spirit carries on and touches the lives of many.

 

I am seeking your financial help in making special memories for families that will have children in the hospital at the holidays. In both 2018 and 2019, we were able to raise money throughout the year and make special holiday gift bags and baskets to families staying at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, the local hospital in Broward County where we stayed on multiple occasions.

 

These baskets are filled with items to help make the family's stay in the hospital more comfortable and serve as a reminder that they are not alone during this difficult time. Simple, but thoughtful and useful items, are included such as lotions, journals, therapeutic/self-care items, snacks and more.

 

To say the least, staying in the hospital with an ill child is challenging. Additionally, some families cannot afford to drive/travel to see their children in the hospital. To lessen this burden, our Sunshine Baskets contain gas cards and other food/retail gift cards. Your donation will support families facing unthinkable trials during the holiday season. Thank you for sharing your blessings with families who need some extra love and TLC this holiday season.

 

Thank you and God Bless,

Jessica Lieberman
