💚 Luke’s Legacy Care Basket Update 💚
The baskets are almost done. 🥹
I’ve spent a lot of time picking out what goes into these! The best towels I could find, the softest blankets, tons of necessities, and plenty of comfort items. And I think part of why I’ve been so particular about everything is because I remember what it feels like to be the parent in that hospital room.
When your child is sick, you stop thinking about yourself. You run on nervous energy, no sleep, hospital coffee, and adrenaline. Days and nights blur together. You’re a parent first, a caregiver second, and somewhere underneath all of that, you’re still a human being who is exhausted, scared, and desperately trying to hold it together.
I remember how much the smallest comforts could matter.
That’s what I hope these baskets can be.
Not something that fixes what these families are going through, because we know nothing can do that, but something that makes one hard day a little softer. A warm shower with a good towel afterward. A soft blanket when you finally close your eyes. The things you didn’t think to pack because you are always thinking of what your child needs, not yourself.
Mostly, I hope they remind parents that while they’re busy taking care of their babies, they deserve to be cared for, too.
I still have a few things left to pick up, but the bulk of the baskets are finished. To everyone who donated and helped us make this project possible, thank you. Every single donation helped us fill these baskets with the kind of things I would have wanted beside me during some of our hardest days. 💚
We’ll be dropping them off by the end of the month.
Hopefully, these are just the first of many Luke’s Legacy Care Baskets to come. I hate that there will always be another family who needs one, but I’m so grateful that we get to carry a little bit of Luke into those rooms with us. 🎗️🦖💚
