Gratitude Stories from Bradley Hospital

Izzy

Izzy's story

The milestone of a child starting preschool is often a joyous, yet bittersweet occasion for parents. As they see their little ones gain independence and make new friends, it also marks a new chapter in life. Unfortunately, when Amy’s daughter Izzy started school, it was anything but a joyful time.

Ivy - Bradley Hospital Gratitude

Ivy's story

In early 2020, Ivy was 14 years old and struggling. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) had taken over her life, making daily tasks unbearable.

Sadie's story
