Schedule O:

“(1) The Heroes at Home Discharge Bags are given to newly diagnosed patients who are being discharged home after a cancer diagnosis. They provide supplies for the homes where families will be caring for their immunocompromised child. ?We delivered 69 of these bags in 2022 for a total of $6,525. (2) Bone Marrow Transplant Support Bags provide some comfort and joy in the midst of the extended hospital stay associated with a bone marrow transplant. Inside are personalized gifts that can help brighten the days in such long hospital stays. In 2022, we provided 27 of these to children at Methodist Childrens Hospital in San Antonio for a total of $4,431. (3) End of Life Comfort Boxes are provided to families that are given the tragic news that their child is at the end of their life. Inside are items that are meant to provide some measure of stress relief and comfort. We provided this support to 21 families facing this terrible situation in 2022 for a total of $3,450. (4) Scan Day Support is provided to families who are having to go through a day of scans to check on the progress of their childs cancer or the effect of their childs treatments. We offer gift cards to provide something to look forward to after the anxiety of such an ordeal. Four families asked for scan day support in 2022 for a total of $145. (5) Social Work Team Miscellaneous Requests - We meet periodically with the nurses and social work teams at Dell Childrens Hospital and Methodist Childrens Hospital, and we ask them of any needs that they have that we might be able to help with. In 2022, we were able to provide multiple items for teens and children to use at the outpatient clinic as they received treatments and check-ups, such as: art supplies, books, headphones, buzzy bees (pain relief for shots), etc. We estimate that these requests provided support for between 300-400 patients in 2022 for a total of $6,099.31.”
