My group chose the project of donating to Primary Children’s Hospital. At first, we wanted to do the project of making homeless kits, but we had some difficulties with that project, so we decided to donate to Primary Children’s Hospital. Primary Children’s Hospital is one of the highest ranked children’s hospitals in the United States. It is located in Salt Lake City and for 95 years have been helping families and children all over the western United States.
Our problem is that children at Primary Children’s Hospital are going through tough times and families don’t have enough money to buy basic supplies for their children. At first, we wanted to buy teddy bears to donate, but realized that supplies like whiteboard markers and tissue paper. are needed the most. So, with our thirty dollars we went to the Dollar Tree and bought supplies. We bought ten packs of colorful tissue paper, fourteen packs of black, red, and blue whiteboard markers, and four packs of hot glue sticks. We found them at the Dollar Tree and had a total bill of $29.89. We got our thirty dollars from kind investors who donated to our English class. Each of us got ten dollars, to spend on something to make a difference in our community. We then combined our money to make thirty dollars. Our money came in an envelope with an explanation of the project and some ideas for it.
A problem that we ran into during our project was trying to get the supplies up to Primary Children’s Hospital. Since it was all the way in Salt Lake, and all of us had very busy schedules, no one had the time to take the stuff up to Primary Children’s. After a long time, we finally found a solution. Meg’s family knew a family who had a child at Primary Children’s Hospital. We were able to give them the supplies and they were able to take it up to the hospital for us. We thank them greatly.
We had so much fun doing our project. I think that it relates to the theme of, “Making a Difference,” because even though it wasn’t a big difference, and it only impacted the Primary Children’s Hospital, we were able to help some children in need have supplies that they need that families can’t afford or can’t spare the money to buy. We helped someone in need, and that is making a difference.
