Token 1562 I received a Pass It On coin after arranging a hair cut for a vented patient in our ICU who was struggling with long hair extensions that were causing her pain as she lay in bed. I am happy to receive the coin, but the act of being able to help this patient was really all I needed. I work in an administrative role and seldom have direct interaction with patients. This was a treat for me to see the gratitude in the patient's eyes after her hair cut. ~Cynthia Reeves, Platte Valley Medical Center, Brighton, Colo.

Token 1745 Delinda Thomas a Planetree Facilitator at the Central Texas VHCS. During our Facilitator Training, I shared a story about a tragic accident that occured while I was serving in the military. Delinda sensed the pain that was clearly still evident when I told my story and after the training ended, she stopped by my office with a gift. The gift was two books ("Tear Soup" and "The Next Place"). These books were a source of strength for me as I continue to deal with the tragedy of my accident. A request from Delinda was to pay it forward at a time when someone else may need help dealing with a tough time in their life. I pass my Planetree Token to Delinda. ~Nikita M.
