Pajamas for RMH Rochester
For Christmas we were able to make up gift bags for 21 children at the Rochester Ronald McDonald house and deliver them Christmas week. 11 girls from newborn to teenager received new holiday pajamas, makeup bags filled with makeup and tiaras. 10 boys from toddler to teenager received new holiday pajamas with superhero masks and stickers. We were only able to deliver to the facility, not personally deliver, but got feedback there were smiles as the gifts were delivered.

Inaugural Thanksgiving Project SUCCESS!
This year, we’ve tried many new ideas. One of these includes providing Thanksgiving dinner to families, to support making memories together during traditional holiday experiences.
With the help of dozens of volunteers, donors, and a generous anonymous private funder, we raised $6200 to send gift cards to 78 families in Houston and southern Louisiana!
A HUGE thanks to our volunteers and donors for supporting our first ever Thanksgiving Dinner Project, providing 17 families Thanksgiving dinner in Houston. We partnered with Angel’s Place, with the support of a $5,000 anonymous gift, to expand the project to an additional 61 families in southern Louisiana!
Now, more than ever, families need food on the table, with up to 1 in 5 families not having enough food this week, per a recent Washington Post report.
For a Day exists to alleviate the stress of critical illnesses for families with sick kids. These families are even more vulnerable right now, so we’re doubly grateful for the team effort to accomplish such a broad feat.

Serving the Kids During COVID-19
We sent 80 activity kits to our partners! This is why the love them: “To be able to give a child an activity that is theirs to keep, and doesn’t have to come back out of the room to be cleaned and passed to another child, is an additional layer of safety and security we can provide the families in these uncertain times. As our kids are all severely immunocompromised, this is a huge win for us.”
