Hi friends 💜
It’s been a while since we’ve been active on Facebook, but it’s time to get back to work.
Since our sweet Sophie passed, one of our main focuses has been fundraising for Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. Over the past few years, through various fundraising events, we’ve been honored to deliver hundreds of gifts to their Child Life and School Program and donate thousands of dollars to the Pediatric Oncology Resource Team (P.O.R.T.).
We’re excited to share that we’re currently planning our next fundraising event! Last year’s rummage sales were a huge success, so we’re doing it again. We’re planning a big Memorial Weekend rummage sale, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly toward purchasing gifts for the children at the hospital.
During her hospital stays, Sophie made hundreds of batches of slime, completed countless arts and crafts projects, and snuggled with many stuffed animals and dolls that were given to her along the way. Those gifts meant everything to her. They helped turn long, scary, and exhausting days into moments of comfort, creativity, and joy.
Our goal is to deliver the gifts around June 30th, the day Sophie would have turned 12. We would love to honor and celebrate her in a BIG way.
Starting next month, we’ll begin collecting donations for the rummage sale. If you’re doing spring cleaning and have items you’re looking to get rid of, please consider donating ❤️
For anyone who would like to send a gift directly to the hospital, we’re also sharing their Amazon wishlist here:

If you have items you’d like to donate, please reach out to us through our page, or call/text 231-429-7190.
Thank you for helping us continue Sophie’s legacy and bring comfort and smiles to children who need them most. 💜✨
