This month’s Positively Jax winner has turned tragedy and heartbreak into something beautiful.
“We witnessed a lot of kindness and generosity when we were there. I mean, when you’re in that room, you feel like you’re all by yourself. But the community was reaching out, people in the hospital giving us things and donating just trying to make our day special,” Heather Leide said.
These care packages helped give them a sense of comfort and normalcy despite the stress of a sick daughter. Ashlyn passed away a month after that hospital stay and now the family pays it forward with the same type of support they received.“It’s stuff you really don’t think about, like we have a snack bar, and coffee cart, because sometimes like with our daughter, her health was fluctuating, and we couldn’t leave her bedside.
Melanie Lawson talks with Team A.Maise, who tell us how they turned personal tragedy into an opportunity to make a difference for other people. Team A.Maise makes monthly deliveries to UF Health and Wolfson Children’s Hospital to provide snacks, coffee, comfort carts and their latest idea -- a clothing pantry.
“We had the luxury that we can tag team and go home and get clothes, but we’ve met families that they were in a car accident on 95 and they didn’t have anything. They had no clothes except what was on their back,” Leide said.“We know that we’re reaching out to people. We just didn’t know how much of an impact,” said Leide.
