New York City’s Ebony Hinkson has experienced possibly the hardest thing a loving mother could through, losing her son, Andrew, to medical negligence at just nine years old. A tragedy like this would be enough to make many people understandably withdraw in depression, but for Hinkson it led her to the decision to start her own minority founded and ran nonprofit Andrew’s Healing Hands to do all it can to help New York children and mothers in need. In exciting news, the latest element of this was recently announced. Andrew’s Healing Hands Foundation will be holding a special “A Mother’s Love” events on 3/28, 4/25, 5/16, and 5/30. The brunch is intended for moms to come together for support and talk about their motherhood journey. Each date is free for 20 moms, who will receive food and prizes, while collecting signatures that will help pass A.J.’s Law (named for Ebony’s son). The law is intended to help prevent medical personnel from making future tragic decisions, that lead to a loss of life. The enthusiasm surrounding the brunch dates are high and rising.
“Our mission at Andrew’s Healing Hands Foundation is striving to improve every aspect of children while building and bringing our communities together,” commented Hinkson. “Helping each other achieve success, one day at a time. Ensuring we’re building opportunities for their future with strength, love and kindness.”
Current and past recent successful programs from Andrew’s Healing Hands include highlights like Keep New Yorkers Warm (for those who need coats during the winter), Feed NYC (which provides food for families), Say Yes to Success (that delivers free job interview clothing for men and women), plus a back-to-school bookbag giveaway to 100 kids in Harlem, and a Christmas toy drive. Expect all f this and much more in the near future and the years to come from the foundation.
The response from the community to this inspirational work has been remarkably positive.
Darra Ward, recently said in a five-star review, “Very good foundation. I benefited from this cause and I am super thankful and appreciated all the assistance I received from this organization. In memory of Andrew!”
