“When we left the hospital, we received an unexpected gift from a stranger,” says Christi Kearns, Elle Project Founder. “We were touched by this compassionate gesture and decided we would like to give back and spread the same kind of hope to others, particularly, sick children.”
The Elle Project has donated 50 books to Mercy Health. They will be used by pediatric patients receiving care in many departments, including the emergency room and hospice center.
“The Foundation is proud to collaborate with the Elle Project,” says Jessica Toren, Mercy Health Foundation – Lourdes President. “These books will provide comfort to our youngest patients at Mercy Health.”
