Thank you to every one who supported Comforting Kids.  Because of your generosity each hospital's wish list was fulfilled. All of the deliveries have been made. We feel very blessed to have had such a successful 1st year. Below is an example of some of the kind words shared with us from our grateful recipients.........

To all the wonderful folks who support Comforting Kids, what a joy it was to meet you and to receive your incredible donation!  We are overwhelmed by your generosity and support for "our" kids!  Some of the Child Life staff where actually speechless when they saw all the wonderful things you brought!

I can share with you that many many patients have already benefitted from your generous and thoughtful gifts.  It has been especially gratifying to see the teens' reaction to the electronics.  They (as we!) are blown away!  I hope that each of you has the opportunity to visit us some day to see the difference you have made in the lives of these children.  Coping with serious illness and injury is never easy.  You have eased the pain.

Thank you so much for choosing Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland as one of your 2008 recipients.  Please know you have made a difference for so many patients and families.

With deep gratitude,

Mary Kelly
