Each year a very special guy from the Atascocita Fire Department pulls together all the members of the department and asks for any possible donations for his Give A Bear program.
Matthew Dupre’, a Paramedic and fellow Cajun
looks for help in giving Teddy Bears to the local
Shriners Hospitals,
“Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-a-kind international health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing specialty pediatric care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs.
Children up to the age of 18 with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate are eligible for admission and receive all care in a family-centered environment at no charge – regardless of financial need.”
The Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital,
“TSRHC treats Texas children with orthopedic conditions, such as scoliosis, clubfoot, hand disorders, hip disorders and limb length differences, as well as certain related neurological disorders and learning disorders, such as dyslexia.”
and
MD Anderson Cancer Hospital for Children –
“At the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M. D. Anderson, everything we do is focused on one thing: helping kids beat cancer.”
The story behind these hospitals for children is simple – They Help Families and Children Regardless Of Their Financial Status or Ability to Pay.
That is right – it does not matter if the kids don’t have a dime to pay – they take care of it.
In Fact - They do not even have a billing department!
They rely deeply on the help and contributions of people like us and this year I am calling on my family, friends and You to do what you can to help these children enjoy Christmas – or just to give them a little comfort.
The original idea of Develop Your Wings, when it popped into my head at Claim Your Power Now, was remembering what Matt does for these children – and I hope you will assist as well.
Make a kid’s year – help give some Teddy Bears – And Some Smiles
Last year Build A Bear donated 36 Bears – I want to match – and Exceed - their Donations.
Here is what I am asking – ANYthing you can donate – is valued – Each Bear costs -$10 to build - Build A Bear is donating 10%, which about covers the tax – so that means:
If you give $10 – You give 1 Bear and 100’s of smiles
If you give $50 – you give 5 bears – many thousands of smiles and laughter’s and Joy.
If you give $100 – That is 10 Bears – 10 Kid’s – 10 Families – Ten Sets Of Grandparents, the nurses and doctors all will remember you and the incredible act of kindness you have bestowed on us.
And remember – if it is just $1 or $5 – ALL of the above will remain true – because it comes from your Heart…
If you wish to give a kid a smile – and a Teddy Bear – you can paypal directly to twygal@gmail.com
Or if mailing something in is easier – just let me know.
