The Flamini Foundation

Today we made our final delivery of mamaRoo's, to the NICU at Methodist Hospital Northlake Campus in Gary. In the past several months we have also delivered mamaRoo's to Advocate Children's Hospital, Franciscan Health Crown Point, and Community Hospital. They have been a great help to the nurses with volunteers not being allowed to help due to covid.

Our sincere thanks to all who supported the foundation during our 11 year journey. God Bless you ALL🙏🥰

Thank you Laura Wray Berg for having a dream about me. Laura texted me at 5:30am the next morning asking how she could get 11 year old boys involved in a creative way. Laura and the moms got creative with our wish list.
A big thank you to the moms, the boys and all who so generously donated🎅🎁🎄
You have helped to make this the BEST Christmas🎄🎁Ever❤️

Today we made deliveries to Children's Hospital University of Illinois, Rush University Medical Center and Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago. Due to restrictions of Covid, we only have photos from UIC and Rush and not Comer to share.
We will not be making our regular delivery to Advocate Hope Childrens Hospital this year. Donations will be sent directly on line.
Methodist Hospital Gary picked up their goods last week and a portion of Ronald McDonald House Near University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital were delivered. The remainder will be sent next week.

Toy deliveries began last week, but yesterday's deliveries were EXTRA special. A group of boys, who attend Chicago Heights School District 170 schools along with their moms, collected toys to add to the many toys we had collected from so many others to make this our BEST Christmas EVER for the hospitalized kiddo's and families. We were able to bring the boys along with us yesterday to deliver to 3 places. Community Foundation of Northwest Indiana, which umbrella's: Community Hospital, Munster, St. Catherine Hospital, East Chicago, and St marys hospital Hobart Indiana
We also delivered to Health St. Clare Clinic, Crown Point, where toys and other items will be distributed to families in need. From there we went to Franciscan St. Anthony Foundation, Crown Point, for another delivery. This covered Franciscan Health Crown Point and Franciscan Health Hammond.
Teach your children to be kind and the true meaning of Christmas!!
These boys were respectful, kind, generous and a pleasure to be with!! Love you BOYS😘 Thank you all TONS🥰 (moms too😉)
