So impressed at the "Kids for Kindness" focus that you have going! Great stuff to each all of our kids!

Karen, after reading your comment, we have been talking about how to show special care to oncology nurses. Thanks for your inspiration!

I will definitely be adding in your suggestions to the next update. We are
