Candice,
The beads donated at the meeting were wonderful!
The power point presentation was very moving, seeing all of the kids I got kind of choked up. The kids really look forward to their beads. What a great distraction for them. The facilitator said for younger patients the parent looks forward to the beads that tells their child's journey. They string and restring them often. It was very unique how they choose to string them some choose to sort them into a story representing in order what they have had done. One child looked at his strand and said look at this time here I was so healthy. Others will sort them into color groupings ( white for chemo , black for pokes, yellow for admissions/ sleep over at hospital, red for transfusions/ blood etc.)
Would encased florals be okay?

They only food item I can make is a ice cream cone, guess I can try to adapt that into cup cakes.
Thanks, MarieAnn
