I would like to thank you and my Sunshine family for everything that was done to make the children I serve smile! I am very grateful The LIU volunteers are amazing, they arrived and went to straight to work. They helped decorate and provided treats and games for the children. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Sometimes children feel uncomfortable when they have an IV in them. But once when we give them an activity kit, it distracts them, and they completely forget about all of the other stuff that's going on. The activity kits are helpful for me as a Child Life Specialist and the rest of the team as well. When the child isn't totally focused on their IV and busy playing, the staff is able to provide the medical care they need. A simple activity kit truly helps so much with everything.”
Once a month the TelePlay session is with Robin, Bonnie, and artist that comes in to do a trivia game or a variety of games they plan out all themselves. The volunteers are really organized and on top of it and have a game that the kids enjoy. It’s super easy for me to just bring the kids in... and it’s really fun! We even showcase the patients art from TelePlay sessions on our gallery."
