Bringing Comfort and Hope When It’s Needed Most
On Christmas Eve, Bella’s Blessings was honored to return to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital—joined by Knox, the beloved mascot of the Knoxville Smokies—bringing smiles, encouragement, and moments of joy throughout the hospital.
​
With the incredible support of our community, we delivered 100 comfort buckets, each filled with $125 in gift cards for groceries, gas, meals, and everyday essentials—including Amazon, DoorDash, Starbucks, and local restaurants.
​
Beyond the gifts, we were given something even more meaningful—the chance to spend time with families and hear their stories. Some had been in the hospital for months. Others had arrived only hours earlier. Yet every family shared the same truth: they never planned to be there.
​
Many of the buckets were received with tears and humble gratitude—simple reminders that in moments of uncertainty, families are seen, supported, and not alone.
​
From Thanksgiving through December 23rd, we raised nearly $13,000 to make this Christmas outreach possible. This would've never been possible without the love, care and support from our community. Thank you!
Supporting Care Beyond the Moment
Earlier this month, Bella’s Blessings was honored to support East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in a critical way. Through funds previously raised, we were able to contribute $25,712 toward the purchase of essential medical equipment—including two IPV Therapy Machines and two Cough Assist Machines—to directly support patient care.
​
These machines will serve children in the PICU and NICU, helping medical teams provide life-sustaining respiratory care when it matters most.
​
While our contribution may not be the largest, we are deeply grateful to play a meaningful role in supporting the hospital, its caregivers, and the families who rely on them every day.
How We Help
Simple support for families facing unexpected hospital stays.
Gift cards for local restaurants and food delivery services so families don’t have to worry about their next meal—and can focus on what matters most: their child.
Small comforts—from fuzzy blankets, sound machines, and nightlights to phone chargers, clothing, and other essentials—provided to help families navigate the uncertainty of an unexpected hospital stay.
The unexpected brings added costs—especially with frequent trips to and from the hospital. We provide gift cards for gas stations and grocery stores to help ease some of the financial burden.
