Gold For Grey Ministries also helps with the practical needs of kids in the battle. One of the ways we do this is by providing port shirts for MU Children's Hospital. These shirts range in size from 0-3 months up to XL. Many kids with cancer (and other conditions) require a port-a-cath for the administration of chemotherapy, blood and platelet transfusions, and blood draws as well. The port is surgically placed on the right or left side of the chest. Port shirts are t-shirts with a zipper placed on the right or left side for easier access to the port. This alone can lessen anxiety for the child and can give them modesty.
We have also adopted a two-mile stretch of highway between Clark and Sturgeon. Look for the Gold for Grey signs! We pick up trash and keep this stretch of highway looking good and safe for mowers. In addition, we host blood drives with the American Red Cross and are active in our community, supporting all the things that were important to Greyson.
