It’s the time of year to start collecting donations for one of our favorite projects - Halloween in the NICU at UT Medical Center! 🧶🎃
Each year 818 Ministries decks out all of the sweet, tiny warriors at UT Medical Center with cocoon + hat costumes like the one you see pictured. Pinterest is STOCKED 👏🏽 FULL 👏🏽 of ideas for creative patterns for these guys and they are such a fun treat to encourage the families on, what is often, a not-so-fun day. We’ll be collecting them through the end of September to be donated in October!
