14 Days of Maddy: Day 10 Kindness

Written by Jackie H. Didio | 12/27/22 7:41 PM

You are Kind.

Kindness was Maddy’s smile when she wore her banana pajamas. She had the most amazing ability to turn anyone’s frown upside down. Even on days where she was feeling at her worst, she sent double waves to all of her nurses and doctors and one finger “you got this!” points to her sister. She giggled and shared kind snuggles when she needed blood or platelet transfusions, and kicked her feet with glee when she ate her MOST favorite hospital mac-n-cheese. Her love and warmth touched so many lives and continues to be motivation to love a little more and be kinder to ourselves and each other. 

At Madelyn James, we believe that families belong together and that every child has the right to a cure. Kindness and understanding is integral to our core values as an organization.

We want families to know that when you work with Madelyn James, you will never be alone. Just like we never felt alone during Maddy’s life. 

We hope you'll celebrate kindness by sending this message to someone who embodies kindness to you.
