The Kindness of Strangers

Hannah's cousin Heather saw her fall and even though she didn't really know Hannah she has been wanting to help in whatever way she could. She decided to set up a little display in her chocolate shop (The Chocolate Cottage at 720 E 10600 S in sandy) telling a little about Hannah, her accident and her CD. A women came into the store to buy some chocolate and saw the display, she asked more about what happened and Heather told her. The woman explained that she had a daughter who also had been in a bad accident so she understood a little about that kind of thing. She returned to the store several hours later with a card and asked Heather to deliver it to Hannah. She did and inside the card, that wasnt even signed was a sweet note and $100! Hannah was close to tears as she was reading the note and seemed overwhelmed at the kindness of a stranger who didn't know her or the pain that she was suffering yet who had shown such love. From the display Heather had set up in her store she had sold some of Hannah's CD's and she took the money and incorporated it into a gift of chocolate covered strawberries, beautifully arranged to look like long stemmed roses, with the cash as bows.

So many people have shown so much love and support, that Thank you hardly seems enough. Anne Wilde has been to the hospital everyday taking Hannah's mother to dinner, checking up on Hannah and selling her CD's.

Marie has coordinated making sure someone is scheduled to spend the night with her every night and others have graciously been willing to give of their time to spend the night, help with physical therapy or just visit.
