Give Comfort

The holidays are approaching and we have a list of things to buy, things to do, things to cook and places to go. Admittedly, we can get a bit carried away, but spending time with our family over the holidays is what we look forward to most, and it’s a good time to take stock of what we have and what we are grateful for.

At SavvyMom we are grateful to be spending the holidays with our families (and believe us when we say we are looking forward to the break). We also know that there are some families who will have children in the hospital over the holidays, and our thoughts are with them. To our surprise, we learned that The Hospital for Sick Children needs $2.5 million to replace most of its beds, cribs, mattresses and stretchers. Parts for aging equipment can no longer be found, and the hospital is spending funds to rent specialty mattresses because the older mattresses contribute to skin breakdown, a condition suffered by many of the tiny patients.
