For the boys 5th Birthday party instead of gifts we asked the guests to bring small non-gendered toys and games, arts and crafts kits, markers, playing cards,
bubbles, puzzle books etc for the New Diagnosis bags for
Badger Childhood Cancer Network. These bags are given to families at Diagnosis to help lift the burden a bit. There is information books on cancer, blankets, toiletries, and things to entertain the family during the hospital stay. To me it felt like Christmas seeing all these new fun things in a bag for us while my son was in surgery getting his port placed, it was like a bright light in the midst of all the darkness.

Only a portion of the generous donations from friends! |

BCCN was very appreciative of the boys and their friends donation. I am grateful we were able to give back in a small way to an organization that has given our family so much support!
