Hi, we are Evana Kesse and Nicole Chen, a dedicated team from the Maryland community. We are raising $3,000 to bring a moment of comfort and normalcy to long-term patients in local Maryland hospitals. Being in the hospital for weeks or months can be lonely and isolating, which is why we're launching 'The Loop Comfort Box Project.'

Our passion and knowledge for this project come from our time spent volunteering at renowned institutions like the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Through this firsthand experience, we learned exactly how much of a positive impact these kits can provide. Our Comfort Boxes will provide essential items that aid in healing and mental well-being—things like journals, puzzles, collage kits, and other age-modified art activities.

Every dollar you donate directly funds a box, and our goal is to assemble and deliver 150 boxes before Valentine's Day. Please help us make a tough stay a little more comforting for those who need it most across the state.
