![]() “I plan to continue this tradition for as long as they will accept our donations. “Bringing all of my friends and family together every year to gather gifts for kids who visit the emergency department makes me feel so happy,” said Ella. “It’s special to see a young person who understands she can make a difference in the world, and gives her time and energy to spread joy to others, especially in a time of need.” “Ella’s generosity is incredible, and we are grateful to be the recipients of her caring heart,” said Audrey Rosin, Emergency Department Manager at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah. ![]() Team members thanked Ella and her family for the continued support. Recently, Ella and her family dropped off more than 500 items to ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah’s Emergency Department. This year alone, she raised $1,400 to spend on the children that will visit the emergency department, along with 200 items that were donated by friends and family. “We know what it feels like to have children in the emergency department, and as a parent, we want to do anything we can to help those families at that time.”Įlla has donated nearly $8,000 in gifts over the last four years. “I’m so proud of Ella and her dedication to continue doing something that is special to her,” said Tracey Bast, Ella’s mother. These gifts are sent home with the child. The emergency department, through the ThedaCare Family of Foundations, hands out new gifts such as stuffed animals, sippy cups, puzzles, games, stickers, coloring books and pajamas to young children or their siblings when they visit the department to help keep them occupied and calm. “If I can give them a little something to help calm them down, I will always do it.” “I hope that kids will not feel scared or nervous when they have to visit the emergency department,” said Ella. Now, every year for her birthday, instead of bringing a gift for her, Ella asks friends to bring a gift for the emergency department. Ella wanted children to feel happy when they went home, just like Avery. Something resonated with Ella, and she came up with an idea to help others. Avery showed Ella the sippy cup and stickers when she returned home. The family said Avery only remembered the items she received at the ED, and not the visit itself. When Ella’s sister, Avery, was in the emergency department a few years ago, donated gifts were given to her. Since her fifth birthday, Ella Bast has decided to use her special day to collect gifts for children who might need a comfort item if they ever find themselves in the Emergency Department (ED) at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah. – A thoughtful nine-year-old girl from Combined Locks is once again helping others in need.
