4th Annual Angel Trinity Christmas ~ Toy Drive

Being so busy this last school semester, I was only able to put a small toy drive together for the chronically kids at CRC. A handful of people donated toys, other's donated money, which in turn we used that money to go shopping for the CRC kids.Once all toys were collected and purchased, the wrapping began. My doggy Buddy kept me company & was my little helper.The gifts are wrapped and ready!The van is loaded...time to deliver the gifts!The Beautiful Belen Family helped us deliver the gifts...Little Jackie used to live at CRC when Trinity lived there.May wonderful parents joined us as well, to help us pass out gifts The Beautiful Children at CRC...I love all of them so very much!

As a gift from us to CRC, we gave them a framed picture of Trinity and a few framed pics from the "Angel Trinity's Snoezlen Room" dedication day.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE BEAUTIFUL BABIES AT CRC but most of all, THANK YOU to all of you who helped us this year for the 4th Annual Angel Trinity Christmas!!! We could not do this every year without your generous donations!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGEL TRINITY!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH BABY GIRL!!!

Snoezlen Room Dedication (3rd Annual Angel Trinity Christmas)

Last year for the 3rd Annual Angel Trinity Christmas, we did a huge fundraiser to raise $6000 for The Children's Recovery Center (CRC). Once we reached our goal in March 2010, we gave CRC the money to start building a Snoezlen Room (a multisensory therapy room for the chronically ill kids).

CRC contacted me in October to inform me that they had finalized this amazing room! Saturday, November 20, 2010, CRC dedicated the Snoezlen Room to Trinity and threw a huge dedication party for us. Family and friends, along with CRC staff all joined us on this special day.

Mike (the "head honcho" of CRC) started the dedication

It's Official!

The room is beautiful!!! Lights, texture, & therapy music...all needed to help stimulate the beautiful CRC kids.

The crystal portrait of Trinity that we gave to CRC after she passed, is proudly displayed inside the beautiful snoezlen room.

The kids LOVED the room

My dad said a few words, and a beautiful prayer to dedicate this beautiful room to our angel baby, Trinity.

Both Marla and Marilyn were instrumental in designing & building the Snoezlen Room.

Tinkerbell came to celebrate with all of us

Jumper House & food were all provided by CRC to help celebrate.

My dear friend, Jen Kwapinski, made her amazing gourmet cupcakes.

It was a beautiful day, and so very emotional. To have Trinity remembered & honored in such a special way, means the world to me. The "Angel Trinity Snoezlen Room" will be an amazing therapy room for so many chronically ill kids for years to come. Thank you CRC for a beautiful day, a beautiful room, and a beautiful Tribute to Trinity. We love you!

4th Annual Angel Trinity Christmas

Yes, it's that time of year again, can you believe it? This year I've been very busy being back in school full time. I didn't get a chance to get anything really big organized for our Annual Angel Trinity Christmas. We've decided to organize another toy drive for the kids in the hospital. We will be giving to the kids at the Children's Recovery Center. For those of you who haven't heard of the Children's Recovery Center, in short, it's a long term facility for chronically ill children. Trinity lived there for 14 months of her life...many kids live there for years and years. You can read more about the Children's Recovery Center if you go to their website www.pedisubacute.com
For those of you who would like to donate to this year's Angel Trinity Christmas, here's a list of toys they need there. All toys donated must be brand new and still in their packages.

Ideas for infants:
Crib mobiles, decor, floor gyms, wagons, etc.

Ideas for toddlers:
small scooters, activity tables, pop-up toys, learning toys, sensory/texture toys (ie. play-doh, sand/water tables), etc.


Ideas for older kids:
Scooters, puzzles, games, art easels, physical therapy type trampolines, walkie-talkies, etc.

Please keep in mind that most of these kids are stuck in beds and/or cribs due to their severe medical conditions. So any other toys that can pre-occupy them in their beds would be great too. (ie. Age appropriate DVD's, headphones w/cd players, books, age appropriate video games, etc). Brand new boy/girl clothing from infant to teen, would be a good gift to donate as well.

We will be collecting your donated items from now til Saturday December 18th. We will take all your donated gifts to the hospitalized kiddos that following week, just before christmas.

You can donate in several ways, purchase the toys yourself and bring them to our home, order the toys on-line and have them shipped to our home, send us gift cards to Targets, Walmarts, or Toys R Us, and we'll go purchase the toys, or you could send checks (payable to "Angel Trinity Christmas") and we'll go purchase the toys. If you plan to just donate a gift card or money, please keep in mind that we will need to go shopping, so try to send those earlier, rather than later. The holiday season gets very busy with shoppers, and local stores start running out of the needed items.
