We held our first annual LHL Program Family Holiday Party at Lurie Children’s Hospital. It was an absolutely wonderful event attended by 13 out of 19 program families. The event was also attended by Lurie Children’s medical, care coordination, and foundation teams. And no event would be complete without all three of our wonderful care coordinators.
The event was better than we could have imagined. It was intimate and personal. The Lurie’s team provided lunch, hot chocolate, treats, and games for the patient siblings. We were most encouraged to see families bond with one another. There is great comfort in knowing you are not alone on this journey and the party provided an opportunity for all our families to connect.
The true generosity and spirit of our organization was symbolized by the gifts that a few of our board members provided to our patients, and their siblings. In total, gifts were provided for 28 kids ranging from ages 0 – 18 years old. The families were overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.
Thanks to all the families who made it to the party and gave us an unforgettable experience. We wish a wonderful holiday to all our program families, our supporters, and the team at Lurie Children’s Hospital.
