Today, we delivered a basket of food, drinks, and bathroom supplies to a family of a little boy, Renard, who is in the hospital after an accident. His family is staying with him at the hospital & we were fortunate enough to get to meet his mom, aunt, and sister. They are wonderful people! Please keep them & especially Renard in your thoughts and prayers during his recovery!

We also restocked our baskets in the shower room with bathroom supplies, such as shampoo/conditioner, soap, brushes, toothpaste/toothbrushes, face wipes, deodorant, mouthwash, laundry detergent, and more. It seems as if these supplies are getting used because each time we go back, the baskets are empty. Our hope is that these R Angel deliveries are helping families in some small way as they go through these difficult times. Thank you to everyone who continues to donate to R Angel, which makes these deliveries possible!

Today, we sent a prepaid VISA gift card to a family that has twins in the NICU at The Toledo Hospital. They were born very small and will be in the hospital for quite a while. We hope this gift card will help pay for expenses as their parents travel back and forth daily to visit them. The twins' names are Remy and Quinn, so please keep them and their family in your thoughts and prayers!

Today, we sent another prepaid VISA to the family of a little boy that is very sick. He is only 9 years old & is waiting for a kidney transplant. He is currently at the University of Michigan, so hopefully this gift card will help pay for some expenses traveling back and forth, a hotel, or food for his family while he is there. Please keep him & his family in your thoughts and prayers!

Today, we sent another prepaid VISA gift card to a family that had a premature baby. The baby will be in the NICU for quite some time so hopefully the VISA gift card will help the parents with expenses for traveling back and forth to the hospital, food, etc. Please keep this family and all other families with children in the hospital in your thoughts and prayers! It can be so hard having your child in the hospital & just knowing that so many people are thinking of you and praying for you really does help a bit!

Tonight, we replaced the baskets in the shower room at Toledo Children's Hospital. When we arrived, all the baskets had been emptied so it appears people are using the supplies we are providing. This time, we put 12 baskets there filled with shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste/toothbrush, mouthwash, men's and women's deodorants, a compact brush, face wipes, and a small packet of laundry detergent. We know how difficult it is living at the hospital, especially when you weren't expecting it, so we hope these bathroom supplies continue to help families staying with their children. Thank you to all who have donated and continue to donate to R Angel, making things like this possible!

Today, we sent an R Angel VISA to a family with a little boy, Max. Max has been in the hospital for a few days now with pneumonia and another infection. He is on oxygen, but is out of the ICU now and doing better. This family has another son at home so they have been taking turns traveling back and forth to the hospital and staying with Max. They live almost an hour from the hospital so it is quite a drive each time. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers!

Today, we sent a basket of food and goodies to family friends that are staying at Cincinnati Children's Hospital with their 4 year old son, Ricky, who has SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). He now has RSV and is going to be in the hospital for a little while until he can get well enough to come home. We sent his parents some food and drinks to have while staying at the hospital, as well as some goodies for Ricky's sisters to keep them busy when visiting. Please keep Ricky and his entire family in your thoughts and prayers!
