Cooper's Monster Creations is a concept that is being brought to life by seven year old Chase Cooper. On October 10th 2014, Chase was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. That was the day we found out that Chase has Epilepsy. He was kept at the Hershey Medical Center for 3 days so they could run an abundance of test and try to get us the answers that we suddenly needed. During that time, he met a lot of Warriors. Children who have been there for months battling the unthinkable. It made an impact on him. This past May, Chase received his Twitch Doll (Twitch the Epilepsy Fighting Monster). He was so excited, dragging it with us and sleeping with it every night. He asked if ALL kids who are sick get to get a Twitch. When I explained that this Amazing Organization was for people with Epilepsy, he asked if WE could make one for All the kids at the Hospital. I thought it was a nice thought, but I didn't put much thought into it, at that time. A couple weeks ago ( 7/16) he became relentless. We finally gave in and made the call to see what we needed to do to make this a possibility for him. After a few days of back and forth, we FINALLY got approval for Chase to sew/make Monsters for the Kids at The Children's Hospital. YAY, so exciting. When I told Chase, he actually cried. I think it finally hit right then, what this means to him. Chase struggles in many areas, especially in social environments. He often seems to lack empathy for others. When he repeatedly showed interest in this cause, helping others, both Chris and I decided we needed to encourage this. After all, inspiring compassion in kids and ensuring their happiness, should be a priority for everyone! What better way than to help one Child be happy while making hundreds of Children happy?
***ALL Monsters are made with the help of Chase. From picking out the material, monster design, cutting the material and sewing it. He is involved, this is his "Creation." His brother and sister have also joined in to help. This is why it is called "Cooper's Monster Creation," he said, "We are Coopers and we are creating."
