jclalor 12 #1 December 11, 2008 I work as a nurse at a long term care facilty for children who have suffererd some of the most horrific accidents and illnesses, most will spend the rest of thier short lives here. For what ever reason, many of thier familys will never return to visit, its heartbraking. If anyone wanted to do something really special, they could find one of these facilities near them and donate a toy or some clothes. To see if there is one near you, just google "Childrens sub-acute hospital and your city" Thank you for any help you may be able too provide, I really believe there are no more deserving children any where in this Country.

There is a program going on here where kids are cleaning out their rooms and donating books, toys, clothes, etc that they don't need/use anymore and donating them. Be yourself!

millertime24 8 #4 December 11, 2008 My hat is off to you. I work in a hospital and deal with sick kids every now and then, but you work with kids who will likely die in your care. I dont think I could ever do that and have nothing but respect for those that do. Ill probably volunteer some time (if the military allows) at the kid clinic in McKay Dee.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
