🩷Random Acts of Kindness🩷

To keep Lila's legacy alive and our hearts full, we recently had the honor of helping a family whose son was traveling cross-country to C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital for his open-heart surgery.

🏠A Shelter of Comfort🏠
When their housing arrangements fell through unexpectedly, we stepped in! We secured a 4 night stay in a duplex just a few miles from the hospital, so they could get the much needed rest for Eligh’s upcoming open heart surgery.

🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️The Power of Community🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️
We are continually inspired by the generosity and compassion of those who support Lila's Fund, allowing us to carry out such meaningful acts. By helping this family, we honor Lila's memory and ensure her spirit of kindness and love continues to touch the lives of others.

💜Continuing Lila's Legacy💜
Random acts of kindness like these are at the heart of Lila's Fund. They remind us of the profound impact we can have when we come together to support families during their most challenging times.

⭐Together, let us continue to make the world a brighter place, one act of kindness at a time.⭐
