SPECIAL THANKS:
Thanks to Ortho-clinical Diagnostic a Company of Johnson and Johnson for their baby product drive. Special thanks to the leadership team for presenting this opportunity to us, especially Lorraine Clearly the nurse at OCD and her team, Maggie Kennedy and Lilly Klingenberger for leading the effort.
Baby Product Drive Items donated by Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Employees for Daystar

Thank you to Marilyn At Studio 34 on Elton Street. She, her team of staff and volunteers gave us the training required to make beautiful jewelry. She was very generous with the supplies we needed.

Special thanks to an 8 year old boy named John who had a birthday part with 40 children and ask for no gifts for him but to bring a children's book that was donated to Strong Children hospital in Katie's name.

Thank you to Lilly Klingenberger and the Eastside's Quilting Guild who have been making quilts as well as donating fabric and supplies to the group that make the Day star quilts. Each child, when they leave Daystar at 3 years old is given a beautiful handmade quilt.

My thanks to Father Peter at St. Johns Church for allowing us to use space at the school as jewelry workshop.

My heart felt thanks to the many old and new friends that have volunteered to make the jewelry - giving up many Sunday and hours working at home.

I feel blessed to have the support of these kind and giving individuals -Stephanie
