K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital: On December 23rd at 10am, Santa arrived with the rest of The Believe Project team to deliver presents to the children who are stuck in a hospital bed this holiday season. It was a great day!
Aiden is 3 weeks old. He was born with a heart defect. His heart is upside down in his chest. He is struggling to even open his eyes for his loving parents who are struggling mightily with this horrible circumstance. His 8-year old brother and 7-year old sister want nothing more than to meet him, and hold him as well. Aiden underwent dangerous exploratory surgery to help devise a plan to give him the quality of life he deserves. This family received some of the items on their wish list from The Believe Project. One less thing to worry about this Christmas.
The Believe Project gave this wish list of toys to a Jewish family in Lakewood. Their 3YO little girl fell out of a 2nd story window over the summer and is trached and vented by the in-home healthcare of Preferred Home Care and Nursing Services. She and her five siblings will receive their wish list just in time for the conclusion of Hanukkah!
