I was wondering if there is a list of item's that we need on a regular basis for the tote bags. My daughter had the idea of reaching out to local high schools to see if they would be interested in helping CHERUBS as their community service project. If a school was to help CHERUBS it would raise awareness and the possibility of funds and items for the tote bags. Is there a rule against this?
Our Wish List of Items Needed:
Here is a list of items that we currently include in our totebags...

Grandmother to cherub angel Jayden, the only son to my born to youngest daughter, Alicia.
Jayden was diagnosed with CDH at his 17 week ultrasound with severe LCDH, stomach, intestines up as well as having polycystic kidneys. He was born February 19, 2010 at 36 weeks gestation.
Jayden spent 7 days on ECMO after which he was working on gaining strength for surgery when his polycystic kidneys started failing at about day 15, totally failing by day 19.
Jayden spent 4 days on dialysis before gaining his wings on March 14, 2010 at age 23 days.

School projects are a great way to raise awareness and get our youth involved in a great cause!
Something missing from that wish list, would be journals. We like to include a journal in the bags too.

What a wonderful idea. Thank you so much for helping. I love reading all the letters from the family after they have received their CHERUBS totes. Something so little means the world to them.
Mom to Kylee Freedom Green. 10/04/00 - 10/05/00. 3lbs 14 ozs. Born at 35 weeks via emergency cesarean due to massive polyhydramnios that was restricting Kylee’s growth. She had LSCDH Her stomach, chest, and small portions of her liver, had breached into the upper-chest. Kylee had other congenital anomalies including: multiple heart-defects, two-vessel cord, Trisomy-18, as well as an AV canal defect. After much research, we chose to deliver at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in Houston, TX . As soon as they delivered her she was immediately transferred to the NICU/Neo-Natal team right at the adjoining Texas Children’s Hospital. Also mom to Trey ( 9 ), Skyla (, Chloe ( 6 ) & Elodie ( 3 )
