I had the really wonderful opportunity of sharing my story and my Christmas Socks for Hope project with the The Spokesman-Review. I feel so humbled to be able to watch this project grow and bless more lives each year (this year we will be able to donate to the adult behavioral health units at Kootenai Hospital and Inland Northwest Behavioral Health, as well as the crisis center, behavioral health detox unit, and the ER for patients waiting for a bed to open up to be admitted to the inpatient unit at Kootenai Hospital, plus two friends are taking on this project in their own area to spread more love). I'm thankful for the support, both the generous donations and effort given, that allow all of this to happen. I'm even thankful for the difficult circumstances that led to having an awareness of the people in this unit of the hospital on Christmas, the scratchy hospital socks that could be replaced with warm and comfortable socks, and the messages that might be able to uplift and help someone in a time of great need.
