• Started in 2020, NolaBee holds an annual, limited-edition ornament fundraiser for Children's Hospital of New Orleans.

For those who don’t know me or my family personally, Children’s Hospital of New Orleans holds a very special spot in our hearts. My little sister, Riley, knows the hallways of this hospital all too well. At an early age, she was diagnosed with Spina Bifida. Since then, she has had 13 major surgeries with her most recent being February of 2020. My little sister is a walking miracle to our family and her doctors. We’ve spent countless days and nights in this hospital with my sister. She and my mom are two of the strongest people that I know. Riley and I are 10 years apart, and I’ve never missed a surgery. I was there as a child coloring on the waiting room floor, and in 2020, I was sketching in my sketchbook for NolaBee. Riley’s last surgery in February left her with a lasting outcome of having to catheterize herself around the clock. She is currently trying different therapies and medications to help regain bladder control. For every ornament sold, a monetary donation will be made directly to the hospital, and your purchase will also help provide an ornament for a child spending their holiday while admitted to the hospital. Each year I will offer a new limited-edition ornament. I hope that you see this collectible as a way to give back, brightening someone’s day year after year. Thank you for all of your support and motivation as we try to make the world a better place here at NolaBee!

This one is always for you, Riley!
