Today we sang for the hospital's 25th Anniversary. There were some amazing stories told that brought many of us to tears, including me. One was a man who donated his kidney to his mother. Another was a woman who, at 17, discovered she had a condition that eventually left her blind and then deaf. She had to give her kids up but then got her kids back after a successful cochlear implant. The last story was a young adult girl who went through two brain surgeries and broke into tears with appreciation for her ability to even have life. VOENA children were chosen to give bouquets of flowers and a special small group of our little girls got their faces painted and were then escorted to the children's ward for a picture of hospital promotion.
Thank you Annabelle!

Later, folks were on their own. Some decided to "go dancing":
VOENA members are so talented!
Others went shopping!
There were some birthday girls! Happy Birthday Reilly and Faith!
And Sadie found her knight in shining armor!! (Or armour, as they say in Ireland!)
