A final note from the Hutch School!


Just got a final email from the Hutch school and here is what they said, 
"Thank you again – I heard the delivery was quite a success!  I spoke with our child life specialist and it sounds like the delivery via the school ended up to be the better option for distribution to our kids.  So, the socks were able to reach our pediatric patients, their siblings and children of our adult patients.
 Thank you for all that you are doing!  I am sure your cousin would be so proud!"

This made my day!

I am looking into some other organizations that Sarah had visited when she was going through chemo and such. If anyone knows of any other great organizations around the Seattle area that would benefit from socks please let me know!

Thanks friends and family

The Hutch School...First donation!



The first donation has been completed! 

My husband and I left the house at 8:00am (weren't sure on traffic) to get to the Hutch school at 9:00am.
I put on Sarah's Bracelet and....

...packed up the car with the socks....

...and headed to Seattle...and today it was not raining!...

...we got there early because traffic was not bad, so we waited and saw some of the kids arrive...


...at 9:00am we entered the Hutch School...

...we met the great staff and kids from Kindergarten to High School, we did introductions, the kids each told us where they live and which one of their family members are patients with cancer...

...then we got to tell about Sarah and the socks and got to pass them out to the kids!
We did not have enough for the older boys, so we went downtown Seattle and got them some cool Nike socks:) The girls really liked the fuzzy soft socks:) They were all so nice!

It's time for the first donation!


It's TIME!

Today was the last preparation day for the 1st big donation tomorrow!

I was trying to find a way to get the card with the website on each sock, and I came up with Easter grass!
It is already cut and sturdy enough to attach to each sock! 
And because I am Frugal ...(those that have seen my other blog:)...I went to Target today and bought 6 bags for $0.05/each bag at 90% clearance!

It took about 3 hours to attach to each pair of sock, but well worth it!


Here is how it looked on each sock!



Here are some more pictures of the 'Adding the card process and putting them into zip lock baggies according to size!'



Now we are ready to go! Stay tuned tomorrow for pictures from the first donation! So excited!
