Today the volunteer services department of Vanderbilt Children's Hospital received 200 hats from HATS FOR ZOE (scarves, blankets and gloves too)! They arrived just in time for the hospital's holiday fair, which takes place on the 23rd and 24th. These two days are set up for the kids to go "shopping" since some of them can't leave the hospital during treatment. I am beyond thrilled that they will have so many wonderful choices in fashionable and fun head ware. Matt and I are flying to Nashville on Wednesday and are setting up a day to go see the kids. There are restrictions on where we can go and what we can photograph, but we promise a full report is coming.
Zo-Zo is doing well. Her energy has been up and she is very interested in making Christmas cookies. Mom helped her bake some for the nurses who work on the floor where Zoe receives chemo. She is starting to get sick and lose weight, but keeps smiling. Along with donations sent in for the kids, specific items were sent to Zoe. She received her box on Saturday and insisted on Skyping with Aunt Lesley and Uncle Matt to say thanks and model for us. Below are some pictures of her love infused treasures.

When Matt and I went to mail the boxes we had a wonderful Christmas treat! Tony Burgos is the man behind the Tiger Lily U.S.P.S Contract Station, your neighborhood mail and parcel center. He started a fund for soldiers who are overseas to have boxes shipped to them free of charge. All the soldiers in our Brooklyn neighborhood are home. Tony saw my USAA check card (the military banking service) and made the connection. After asking about Hats for Zoe and seeing the destination on the boxes, he told us he was paying for one of our boxes to be shipped himself. He said, "I want a piece of this." He can definitely have it. Thank you Tony! For those of you living in the area, here is a little information about Tony's business. Use him. He is a good man.
