Brooklynn Wraps Kids in Love

Brooklynn Harris is a  special girl.  

It brings us SO much joy when we get the chance to see kids helping other kids.

Brooklynn raised $1,500 on her CMN fundraising page, then got together with friends to make more than 30 blankets for the kids at her church. She has been making these colorful fleece blankets for the kids at Hurley Children’s Hospital since 2018!

Her mom, Beth, is the GM at Walmart in Flint (one of our CMN National partners and our top fundraising store in 2020). The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

“We absolutely love it when kids are doing something for kids. When we have a child that’s going to come into the hospital and get admitted, we make sure we have a very colorful blanket on their bed. It just makes it a little more homey, a little bit more fresh, a little bit more inviting for them.”
– Laura Parcels, Child Life Director
Brooklynn was inspired when her little brother was born premature and in the hospital. She says she wants to be a pediatric doctor when she grows up. We hope she’ll work right here at Hurley, she certainly has the heart for it!
