This month we are honoring two amazing bereavement volunteers for our Saturday Spotlight, Jennifer and Leevon Xiong. We are so grateful for the amazing support they offer our Angel Babies' families. 🥰
Get to know them below:
What are your roles at Hinds Hospice, and what inspired each of you to volunteer?
We are peer facilitators for the Angel Babies support group. We were inspired to volunteer because we are angel parents ourselves, and the support we received made a huge impact on our grief journey. We have two angel babies, Brandon and Phoenix, whose names can be found on the butterfly wall. We are also part of the Wild Ones team for the Angel Baby Walk, and every year we try our best to be one of the top teams.
What are your favorite individual hobbies?
Jennifer: Creating things with her Cricut, especially memory bears for angel baby families.
Leevon: Building models, collecting, gaming, and photography.
What is your favorite family or couple tradition?
Honoring each of our babies’ birthdays with family and bringing their little stuffed animals along with us on trips and adventures.
If you could travel anywhere together, where would you go and why?
Japan, for the amazing food, amusement parks, and to explore everything the country has to offer, together.
What does volunteering together mean to both of you?
Volunteering gives us the chance to give back for all the support we received and to be advocates for parents going through difficult times, reminding them they are not alone.
What is one fun or surprising fact about each of you?
Leevon: Shares the same birthday as Harry Potter.
Jennifer: Got to experience her very first trip to Hawaii this year while celebrating her birthday with Leevon.
