Today was extra special. Morgan had 3 dozen sand buckets ready to donate to CHOP's short stay unit. She poured her little heart into this project. She always would say, "oh these little kids are going to be so excited when they see their present when they wake up". Each bucket was filled according to age. She filled baby buckets with puffs, sippy cups, baby food a baby book and the famous Woofi. The toddler buckets had things such as oreos, pretzels, juice boxes, water, books, crayons, coloring books, and Woofi. Some of the buckets also had a special book called, Have you filled a bucket today?. The publisher of this book actually donated them. Not only did Morgan learn what " paying it forward" meant but adults did as well doing this project. So many wonderful people helped her out. There was a church group that filled 4 of them as a service project. Many wonderful people gave monetary donations as well as things to fill the buckets. Morgan could not have filled this many buckets without all the help she received.
Morgan had the honor of giving out two buckets personally. They were both little boys that will be getting cochlear implants this year. Both of these little guys loved Woofi from the moment they saw him. We wish Rocco and Beckett only the best in the upcoming journey. Lots of therapy and love and before we know it they will both be following Morgan's footsteps and enjoying mainstream school. All the hard work of the learning to listen will be just a memory.
After CHOP we enjoyed a nice celebration lunch at Olive Garden. What a great day!
