Children's Mercy Hospital

As a local ambassador for Children's Miracle Network, I have been able to be very involved in money raising efforts and spreading awareness.  One of my biggest joys in life is being able to spend time with kids; therefor, through my efforts with CMN of Greater Kansas City I was able to team up with some volunteers at Children's Mercy Hospital.  Children's Mercy is just one of the many children's hospitals that helps to save children's lives. 

Children's Mercy Hospital, located in downtown Kansas City, provides a volunteer program called Monday Night Live.  Every Monday they have volunteers design an activity to do with the kids.  This allows several of the patients to get out of their rooms and do something to take their minds off of the reason they are there. 

On my Monday Night Live session I decided to decorate flower pots and plant flowers to brighten up the kid's hospital rooms.  I thought that this would be a fun idea so that the kids would watch the plants get bigger and bigger everyday. 

After our flower pots were finished I was able to enjoy some one on one time with several of the kids.  Many of the kids enjoyed animals so we rolled out some large drawing paper and drew zoos! The kids had a blast and I enjoyed spending time with them.

Due to security measures at the hospital, I was not able to take photos of any of the patients.
