Our favorite friend Avery stopped by with her brother to surprise us and bless our patients once again! ✨📚💜

Today my brother and I were able to drop off some books for the local Breast & Ovarian Cancer Fund. These books will be passed along to newly diagnosed breast or ovarian cancer patients as part of their recovery gift bags.

Something as simple as a book can bring comfort, encouragement, and a little escape during a difficult time. I’m so thankful to be able to give back to such an amazing cause and help spread a little kindness to those beginning their journey. 📚💜
