Basket possibilities

 
 
CREATE THE BASKETS!
When creating your basket, fill it with a combination of delicious goodies and practical items (make sure to stay away from used items). Don’t forget to decorate with ribbons, bows, vibrant colors, etc. Be unique and creative! Your basket should convey that it is a gift, not a handout; a present, not charity! Make sure to include the following message in each basket:
"This comes to you from someone who cares about you. All we ask is that you take care of yourself well enough to be able to do this for someone else someday."
“Este regalo para ti, es de alguien que lo estima mucho. Lo unico que pedimos es cuando usted se recupera algún dia usted puede ser lo mismo para alguien mas.”
