So the first thought that ran through my head as I packed to get ready to go was what item or items could I take to the pediatric patients of Haiti beyond the obvious needs for food, clothing, shelter, medical care, potable water etc. and I thought - CANDY!
My next thought was what realistically, after having talked to some of the providers already there, could I take beyond candy that would make a difference and that I could carry. In comes the help and loving support of my dear sweet mother who single handedly (but with the help and support of my father) brought to me a box of supplies for the most vulnerable of Haitians to include: onesies, T-shirts, socks, pacifiers, receiving blankets, clothing, pajamas and cartoon videos to watch while convalescing... My sincere gratitude goes out to them both. I will enjoy distributing these items with my colleagues!
