Volunteer, Patient & Parent Comments...
"The smiles that come across the faces of the patients and their families as they receive their balloon makes their "stay" at the hospital a little brighter."
- Brenda O'Bryan, Volunteer Manager, Kosair Children's Hospital.
"Your positive feedback and commitment to delivering balloons not only lifts the spirits of our patients and families but our staff as well."
- Susan Stout Tamme, President, Baptist Hospital East.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH for the balloon you brought my 17 month old son!! He was admitted to Kosair with two viruses. He had not hardly moved all day and when the Balloon Angels came around the corner he lit up - pointed and jabbering. He received an Elmo balloon which is still floating in our living room. It was such a blessing to me and my family - THANKS!"
- M.W., parent.
"Our seven week old baby was hospitalized with whooping cough. As first time parents, our first night in the ICU was extremely scary. I was touched when the Balloon Angels came around with balloons and told us to "hang in there." We tied the balloon to our son's crib and he spent hours during our stay watching the balloon and laughing and cooing. My mom called it his little guardian angel. It will go into our baby book with all of our other memories. Thank you so much for what you do! "
- S.T., parent and new donor.
"I don't want you to run out of balloons so I gave you one of my dollars. I hope the patient feels better when you give them a balloon."
- C.P., recipient and new donor, age 6.
"I was at Kosair Children's Hospital last night when your organization came in with a balloon for my neice. She is in the critical care unit and in a lot of pain and it really made her happy to get a balloon. I was happy when I saw what was happening and that this is a regular activity. I'd like some info on how I can volunteer to give balloons to children too."
- J.W., parent and new volunteer.
" I think that Balloon Angels is really great. I really enjoy getting to see the kids pick out the balloon they want and watching them smile."
- Joe Crawford, volunteer.
"Thank you so much for the balloon! Our 4 mo. old daughter was at Kosairs this weekend with pneumonia and the Balloon Angels came by. While she enjoyed the balloon, I think I was the one who really needed the lift. My husband was home with our other daughter and the balloon delivery made me smile, just when I needed it most."
- L.G., parent and new donor.
