In 2009 & 2010, we worked really hard to raise money for CRC to create a "Snoezlen Therapy Room" for the chronically ill kids. With the help of our family, friends, and co-workers, we raised over $6,000 and donated everything we raised to CRC. They built and dedicated their "Snoezlen Therapy Room" in November 2010, all in honor of our sweet Angel Trinity.
Because of this beautiful room we helped raise money for, the staff at CRC have decided to do an Annual Celebration honoring Angel Trinity. On Saturday April 7, 2012 we celebrated the 2nd Annual Angel Trinity Celebration at CRC.
Here's Scott, one of the main Physical Therapists that work at CRC, showing us more of the therapy items they've been able to purchase with the money we've donated. Scott is an amazing guy and worked with Trinity's therapy needs for many years.
Last year we donated $1700 to CRC to help them purchase much needed iPads to use during therapy sessions for the kids. Here I am with Maryam (Trinity's Occupational Therapist) who's showing off the beautiful iPad they use all the time with the CRC kiddos.
Inside the Snoezlen Room are framed pictures of Trinity, the day we dedicated the Snoezlen Room, and other framed pictures of CRC children who've passed away. It's a special way to honor and remember our "CRC Angels".
The staff at CRC went all out for this celebration...Easter Decorations were on all tables
There are still multiple CRC staff members that remember Trinity and were instramental in Trinity's life when Trinity lived at CRC in 2003-2004.
Bounce Houses were a huge hit for all the kids that came
Close friends and family members came to celebrate with us
Jeanna. Jason. Dad. Bear. Mom. Ashley. Conner. Lori.
Other CRC families and their beautiful kids enjoyed celebrating with us
We love you Rodriquez Family!!!
Me and my dear friend, Jen
Here's my wonderful friend, Mary and her son Joshua. Joshua was born exactly 2 days after Trinity was born...Mary and I met when we were pregnant with Trinity and Joshua. We connected immediately because we were both pregnant with our special heart babies (Joshua and Trinity were born with the same exact heart condition...HLHS). I love seeing Joshua and the progress he has made in life...and we continue cheering him on and hope to enjoy many more years with Joshua.
Here's our buddy Danny who brought his sons to come celebrate with us. This was Danny's first time seeing CRC and the Snoezlen room.
Here's me with Ann, one of Trinity's main physical therapist's at CRC. She's a sweetheart and I was really happy to see her again.
Mike is the owner of CRC...I have worked closely with him throughout the years since Trinity's passing. He's the one who has allowed us to donate money to CRC, and has made sure that money has gone to good use for the CRC kids. He is also the one who plans and carries out this amazing annual celebration honoring Trinity.
Many CRC families were there, and being the Saturday just before Easter, CRC had a large Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids that came. They kids LOVED looking for the Easter Eggs.
The CRC staff provided a full buffett of BBQ food and beverages. It was a perfectly beautiful day for this BBQ.
Overall, Barrett and I were extremely honored and touched by this amazing celebration honoring our baby girl. Although I still wish I could hold Trinity in my arms and have her here instead of up in Heaven, I'm extremely grateful that Trinity is honored and remembered in such special and beautiful ways. I hope Trinity is proud of the Legacy she has left.
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU TRINITY!!! HAPPY EASTER BABY GIRL!!! YOU ARE ALWAYS REMEMBERED BABY GIRL!!!
