Operation Mommy Care Package

I apologize that I am not starting with our introduction first but things happen in mysterious ways.  One of the projects that the Utah Kids Foundation is taking on is meeting the needs of the entire family when a child is admitted to local hospitals.  Often when we rush out the door to take a child to the emergency room, we remember to grab the essentials for our child: Formula, diapers, a favorite blanket or a toy. However, we often forget our own needs.  I personally couldn't tell you the number of times I have been in patient on day 3 of our stay praying for shampoo or a fresh pair of socks.  Many of us have family that can rush to our aid, but there is also many who don't have that available to us.  Utah Kids plans to fill some of those voids... thus the birth of Mommy Care Packages.  I have assembled small packages of the little things: Chapstick, soft tissues, word puzzles etc.  Our goal is to fill so many more of these needs on a more consistent basis.  As we grow this operation, we are asking for help obtaining some of these items.  Below is a list of the items we hope to keep in stock at all times. We are also in need of some bookshelves and bins to store products.  If you have the ability to help stock some of these items, please contact Syndi at momtoherheros@gmail.com.  Donations via Paypal can also be made at this address.  Utah Kids is pending our non profit status but please be assured all funds will go to making these kits and helping more families.
