Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children - Day Two!


Welcome to DAY TWO of the annual Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children! Have you checked out the WONDERFUL banners from yesterday?? Be sure to check them out and comment as you go to be in with a chance of winning some amazing prizes from our sponsors!!! 

I am delighted to join with more than 3 dozen other women who have each made at least one Halloween-themed banner that will be donated to hang in the room of a medically-fragile child at Pediatric Specialty Care in Pennsylvania.

Our Hop Hostess (Ellen CardMonkey Jarvis) works at PSC’s Bucks County site as Admissions Coordinator. The Banner Hop starts on Ellen's blog, so please be sure to circle back to the beginning to see all of the terrific banners have been made for these very special children.

Ellen shared this information with us about Pediatric Specialty Care: 
“PSC is a very special place where children stay either long- or short-term, typically after hospitalization. Most are dependent on ventilators and other technology to survive. Some have been born too early or with genetic diseases or birth injuries. Other children suffer injuries later in life that require constant care later, including brain injuries from trauma or loss of oxygen (from choking, suffocation or drowning) and spinal cord injuries.

These children and their families -- and PSC’s staff -- will be thrilled to receive the Halloween banners, to help brighten the season when their friends and siblings will be out trick-or-treating.”

Here is the second banner I am sending to a child at PSC:

I saw this on FaceBook-Cheryl (of Sassy Cheryl'e fame) posted a link so here I am. Your hop touched me on many levels. I am on the Sassy Cheryl DT-have been since the beginning, but more importantly, I had a special needs son who spent too much of his life in a hospital,,,and these banners would have brought him such joy. God bless you for doing this!
