The Petrey Family Collects 1 Million Pull Tabs
In 2014, Theresa Forlini-Petrey’s daughter, Mahrianna, was born at just 26 weeks, weighing 2 lbs, 5 oz. She would spend three months in the NICU, her parents minutes away at our Akron Ronald McDonald House.
“Being at the Ronald McDonald House gave a sense of peace…that’s a priceless gift that I can never repay,” Theresa says.
During Theresa’s stay, her grandmother brought pull tabs collected by her late grandfather. That spurred Forlini-Petrey to ask others to start collecting. Her Facebook group now has almost 450 members, and has donated more than 1 million tabs. Eight-year-old Mahrianna loves delivering pull tabs with her family.
