This weekend on “Where You Live” we’re celebrating babies!! It’s a super sweet show you’re not going to want to miss! We visit the Spectrum Health Family Birth Center to meet some new moms and their newborns (they are so precious!). We’ll get some expert advise from Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital experts on safe sleep for infants. Priority Health wellness friends will share simple workouts to do at home with baby and you can check out all the latest in baby gear at Meijer! Plus, we have a tender story of a local family that recently adopted a toddler from Haiti through Bethany Christian Services. It’s a heart warming story for sure!! And a Pine Rest Christian Services therapist shares insights for all parents on making children feel like an important part of the family. We’ll also announce our 2010 Park Party schedule! It’s a big show this weekend, “Where You Live” Saturday at 7:30 a.m. and p.m. on WOTV 4 and 6:30 p.m. on WOOD TV 8.
In this weekend’s show we introduced you to Bethann and Jeri who were connected through Bethany Christian Services. Bethany is always looking for mentors to work with teenagers who are in their foster care program. You don’t have to change your life to change someone elses. All it takes is being a positive role model and a friend to someone in need. For ways to get involved visit www.bethany.org.
Last night several corporate partners joined me at a Meijer store and shopped with families in need. The CARE Ballet Company peformed for the kids attending and then we helped the families shop for food, household goods, winter clothing and Christmas gifts. Each of the families were so appreciative and touched! It warmed my heart to watch the faces of the children as they showed off their new boots, new mittens or special toy they selected. What an amazing feeling to be able to give to others. Be to watch “Where You Live” on December 13th to see this beautiful story! This season, I’d love to hear stories of how you and your family reached out to help a family in need. A huge thank you to my friends at Meijer, Priority Health, Fifth Third Bank, Gill Industries, Bethany Christian Services and Craig’s Cruisers for being a special part of this great event!
