We have been trying to find a way to give back the community and have been wanting to set up a #BLESSINGSFROMBENNETT   nonprofit to bring joy to families with kids currently in the hospital. While the nonprofit is not officially up and running we decided to reach out to the Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati and see if we could sponsor an event there. We were able to bring Luvable & Stuffable, LLC. to the RMHC to give all the kids there an opportunity to pick out a stuffed animal completely free to them and give them the opportunity they may not otherwise have since a lot of them are immunocompromised and it’s not safe for them to go to the mall to stuff a bear. The kids there also were able to get fun balloon animals made by Gia’s Balloon Buddies LLC. It was great to see so many smiling faces and bring a little joy to families from all over that have kids battling all types of medical conditions. Since the event went so well today we plan on making it an annual thing hopefully making it bigger and better each year. In the meantime our Bennett is getting stronger everyday with weekly OT,PT, and Speech. He currently gets tutoring but will be starting 2nd grade in the Fall. His immune system is still somewhat weak from all the treatments he got but he is still in remission and seems to be feeling great.
