MISSION:M4
We HAVE made a difference for the
Critically Ill Children of the Military
It’s hard to believe that for the first time in over 20 years I won’t be having my ice cream party. However, even without ice cream, our military families continue to march on, sacrificing so much on our behalf. Because of your support, Mission:M4 continues to make a major difference for our military families. This past year, however, has been an extraordinary year for Mission.
Our biggest accomplishment has been the installation of a PVD system that interfaces with an MRI machine to the Pediatric MRI units at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, each valued at $50,000. This system has transformed a scary procedure into one that can include a movie, significantly decreasing the need for sedation and repeat procedures. |
With the generosity of Geico Insurance, the pediatric unit at Walter Reed is installing a system to accommodate ongoing art exhibits, giving children a platform to display their art. The enclosed information from a Walter Reed Art Therapist shows how this project was the difference between a child feeling defeated or feeling like she could conquer anything…….even cancer.
We have not gone unnoticed. This year, Mission:M4 was honored to receive the prestigious Good Neighbor Award from the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors and the Virginia Association of Realtors. Additionally, Mission:M4 received Honorable Mention with the National Association of Realtors for its contributions to the military community. This year, NAR honored 10 agents out of 1.3 million agents nationally. To have been among the top ten is very humbling.
Our current project needs your help. We are attempting to build a family room in the Pediatric Critical Care Unit at Walter Reed with plans to have a lounge and refreshment area, large TV, fun art on the walls and a desk area with computers, printer and scanner allowing a parent to stay in touch with family and work and provide for a respite from the hospital room.
Please consider making a donation to help complete the family room. Donations can be mailed to the Walter Reed Society/Box 303, 8901 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20889, marked for Mission:M4 or on Mission:M4’s website. Donations are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. I hope you will take time to look at our website and read more about our achievements. Together, we have accomplished so much.
In closing, it is my sincere hope that 2021 will be filled with health, happiness and peace for us all. God Bless the United States of America.
