Teddy Bears for Kids
April 2016
Meredith received much of her treatment for the blood clot in her brain at the Tufts Floating Hospital for Children - Hematology and Oncology Clinic. Although Meredith was sick, she knew others were sicker and could see it every time she was at the clinic. She had collected Teddy Bears from a prior birthday party and donated them to the HEMONC Clinic
Kindness through Confections
Ongoing
Baking gets Meredith through difficult and painful days and baking she has done, absolutely perfecting chocolate chip cookies among many others. It was hard to see her not bake for many months because she simply did not feel well enough. Now, as she has improved, many appointments and visits always include a set of some sort of fresh baked goods for her health care providers.
Tufts Floating Hospital for Children
September 2016
Meredith was able to pay in forward to the HEMONC Clinic and Child Life Services through using her 12th birthday party to collect gift cards, hosting a bake sale and lemonade stands with friends, and using birthday money. A total of $500.00 in gift cards were donated to those families under the care of the clinic in need of a pick-me-up or simply a cup of coffee "on the house".
Kindness Day
February 2018
Using the platform that “Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”, the entire North Reading Middle School learned about Meredith's 2-year medical journey through a video, produced by NRMS students and teachers, on how kindness from many has been her source of strength and the impact one act of kindness can have on a person.
Students were welcomed first thing Friday, February 16th with kindness magnets, viewed the video,discussed the impact of being kind and took the kindness pledge. Kindness pledges will be posted through the hallways in coming weeks.
Comfort Creature Donations
May 2018
On May 2, 2018, Mighty Meredith was to drop off several stuffed animals to the Pediatric Sedation and Infusion Unit at Tufts to those kids just like Meredith who have lumbar punctures and infusions. Being welcomed with a kind creature is just what the doctor has ordered.
Mission Critical - #Fillthebox Campaign
December 2017
On December 23, 2017, the Mighty Meredith Project was able to fulfill part of our mission in delivering over 70 gifts to The Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center Neurology Department for patients who may not had the opportunity to celebrate Christmas around their own tree or were in the hospital around the holidays for treatment. In addition, we helped provide gifts to two individual families in need. More about this project can be found here.
