A high schooler in our Longmont community was diagnosed with a rare cancer when she was 7 years old. Now she’s thriving and in high school and wants to give back to those families going through something similar, through the Shining Stars foundation. These toys will be given to those aged 3-18 with pediatric cancer. We are collecting toys until Dec 20th at our office.
This is something that is close to my heart, hence why I wanted to help this high schooler with this project when I heard about it. We were in the NICU with our son for almost 5 months, and it’s not an easy place to be, especially over the holidays. I can’t imagine being in that place with a child who was older. I figure that any bit of extra joy for these children may help.
