Stella’s Secret Stash – News and Stories
In the News
Here is a link to a news article, that Ashleigh Eisbrener of, ‘The Suburban Woman’, recently wrote about Stella and her Secret Stash!
Project Happy Hats
On December 7, 2013, the Glenview Public Library Service Buddies met and completed a project benefiting children hospitalized at Advocate Lutheran General Children’s Hospital. 19 students from 1st to 8th grade worked together to make silly hats for Stella’s secret Stash. Students made 35 very silly hats for this worthy cause.
Our First Delivery
Our first delivery of hats and bows! This delivery was made to the Advocate Health NICU and included the over 600 hats and bows that were donated at Stella’s memorial service.
Layla’s Story
I delivered our baby girl Layla at 32 weeks. Shortly after delivery we found out that she sustained a brain bleed during delivery. She was immediately transferred to the NICU at Lutheran General.
The journey of the NICU was an extremely emotional roller coaster; however one day when we went in on our usual visit to see our Layla we found her with an adorable lady bug head band on her head. I became so overwhelmed seeing my little girl not look so “medical”. Yes, she still had the oxygen and all the wires but it was so amazing to experience that moment to have my baby look “normal”. It may have been just a headband but something so simple left an impact on us and put a huge smile on our faces.
From that moment for the next month that our baby remained in the NICU we looked forward to “Spa Day” as the NICU staff called it where we would come in and see our little girl in a new head band and dolled up.
