Paying It Forward with gLovies
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you being one of my very first supporters for my new Paying It Forward with gLovies Project.
As most of you already know, the reason why I decided to team up with the American Cancer Society goes back to a time (25 years ago) when my first husband and I were sitting in a Manhattan hospital waiting for a technician to call him in for his first radiation appointment. As we waited, a man walked into the room with his young son who was about 2 years old on his shoulders. I thought to myself, how sad if this poor little boy doesn't get to see his dad grow old...but instead the technician walked in and called the little boy's name. Sigh—that incident never left my mind.
Fast forward years later, after the unfortunate death of my first husband, I remarried and had kids of my own. I started my company, My Mom Knows of Best, Inc. when I realized there were no kid sized gloves on the market. I always thought, how cool if I could come up with a product to keep kids safe from germs. That little boy—the oncology patient was always in the back of my mind. What if I could bring products to the marketplace that could help kids with cancer lead a life as normal as possible when they leave the hospital. I envisioned kids wearing face masks when they walked in their home to hug their siblings for the first time after a long hospital stay—without the fear of catching germs and wearing gloves when helping mom in the kitchen learning to bake cookies. So my products were in existence way before the pandemic!
Just a few short weeks ago, I met with the American Cancer Society and it looks like my dream of helping pediatric cancer patients could come true, especially with your help.
