How to donate a holiday ornament to someone in the hospital

Donations and ornaments are being sought to spread some cheer to those who will be in the hospital over the holidays battling illness.

Grayslake resident Elizabeth Elliott founded HOPE Ornaments several years ago to bring joy and a smile to hospital patients, who choose an ornament that may spark memories of holidays past or of a favorite toy or hobby.

A GoFundMe page has been established to buy ornaments. Ornaments also can be sent to HOPE Ornaments, 562 2nd St., Grayslake, 60030. Call (847) 903-5565 or email lyzzi.elliott@gmail.com for more information.
