While trying to decide what 4 H project to do, Dane Hanson heard a story about his niece ending up in the emergency room. She was so scared! He wanted to find a way to comfort children who had similar experiences. He decided to make a couple bins that the hospital could keep on hand for children who are sick or injured. What started as a simple 4H project, turned into a bigger task when people started donating funds for him to make more bins. His mom posted something on Facebook and he started asking family and friends to donate as well. He would like to thank Tara Einck, Katie Beers, Jodi Beckman, Melvin Schreier, Kyla Buldhaupt, Missy Danneman, Kim Mannon, Tylyn Honken, Cindy Hanson, Matt Hanson, Currie Town and Country, Sam Wynia, Joyce Lange and Lita Schreier. With their contributions, Dane has been able to complete 24 bins and has plans for 26 more. The bins contain things like markers, paper, flashcards, slime and stamps. He also has separate ones for girls that may have puppets, press on nails, stencils, etc. and the boys may have race cars, whoopee cushions, card games, etc.
