We visited 4 floors of the hospital that held the long term patients. Unfortunately, most of the children were in isolation and we were unable to visit with them but we made sure that they all received a gift bag.
The last floor was when we were able to go in and talk to the children and their families. What an amazing experience. Many children were so excited and were so fun to talk to you! It's amazing that spending only a few minutes with a child can leave an impression on your heart for a lifetime! We came across a handful of these children and received consent from the parents to show their photos. Here are a few of the kids:
At the end of the day when I walked through my front door and my kids came running up to see me, all I could do was fall to my knees and hold them. Every day those of us who have healthy kids, take their health for granted. I know that I am guilty of that. I am very grateful to have had such an eye opening experience. My heart and my prayers go out to all the families that are at the hospital with their children right now. I pray that your beautiful children will be able to come home soon, healthy and safe. For the parents and family members that are at the hospital every day with their child, with their brave faces and aching hearts, I pray that God will continue to give you the strength that you need to make it through. Because only through God can we endure such trials and tribulations in our lives.
We would like to thank everyone that donated crayons, coloring books and stuffed animals. With your help we were able to make this a very successful delivery day! We will always be asking for donations of these items. Please contact us if you or anyone you know may be interesting in donating, info@arkangels.biz.
We made a little video of our day at the hospital. Please take a look and we hope that your heart will be touched as much as ours was.
With lots of love,
Korri BeVier
