From left, Todd Heeren, Annabel Wond, Charlotte Wond and Charlie Wond, laugh together. Charlie had given Heeren a care package that included a deck of card, to which Heeren told his physical therapist that she was going to lose some money. The care packages were part of a grant that Charlie got through Thompson School District. Photo by Kati Blocker, UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Charlie Wond walked into the rehabilitation unit at UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital<\/a> dressed in a blue suit with a red tie and polka-dot pocket square \u2014 a very professional look for an 11-year-old. He carried gift bags containing a rainbow of flowers bursting from the tops. His sister, Charlotte, 9, and his mom, Annabel, walked alongside, also carrying gift bags.<\/p>\n

Charlie had assembled the care packages himself. They included silk flowers, an adult coloring book, a stuffed animal and Charlie\u2019s favorite: a word finder book. On a Friday morning, the dapper young man delivered a bag to each of the patients at the rehabilitation unit, which moved last month<\/a> from UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies to its new space on the third floor of PVH.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandpa was in the rehab unit<\/a> in Santa Fe, and we always went to visit him,\u201d Charlie explained to each patient. \u201cI saw the other people there, and I wanted to make them happy, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although he couldn\u2019t do that in Santa Fe, Charlie got an opportunity to do it in his own community through the Thompson School District\u2019s \u201cThompson Kids Can Change the World\u201d contest.<\/p>\n

Students submit a plan as to how they would change the world. One winner is picked from applicants in kindergarten through fifth grade, and another from the sixth through 12th<\/sup> grade. Each winner gets $250 to implement the idea, assistance connecting with a business to help, and a featured story about them on Thompsonschools.org\/ChangeTheWorld<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On that Friday in the rehab unit, Diana Berry, a recently retired school counselor, was preparing to head back to her home in Arkansas the next day. She had been visiting Colorado when she had a stroke. Berry hit it off with Charlie and Charlotte, and their mom Annabel, who is a special education teacher, right off the bat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has really made my trip,\u201d she told Charlie, looking through the bag of goodies. She said she was excited to have something new to do on her trip home.<\/p>\n

Charlie also met Todd Heeren, who was starting his rehab session for the day in the unit\u2019s gym.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, something to do besides watch Shark Week,\u201d he joked. Finding the deck of playing cards in the bag, he looked to his physical therapist and said, \u201cYou\u2019ll be losing some money soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four discussed school, as Heeren has three children who are about Charlie\u2019s age.<\/p>\n

Charlie just finished fifth grade at Coyote Ridge Elementary and has now started middle school.<\/p>\n

It was important that he delivered the packages, and it brought up those memories of visiting his grandfather, he said.<\/p>\n

Photo by Kati Blocker, UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI thought it was more personal than delivering them like an Amazon package,\u201d he said, adding that he thinks that he can change the world with this project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me very happy to be able to do this, and I felt that it made a positive impact on those patients,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Whether or not the project will change the world, Charlie plans to.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to do more community service as I get older, and make people happy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Where does he want to volunteer? A hospital, of course.<\/p>\n
