We're Starting An Entertainment Drive

After sending out our flyers, and talking with so many people, I've been asked...to do a little something. For our local Cancer Community. A few of the people, that made our days easier, asked if I could help out.

You see, when you are battling cancer...you spend many hours in doctors appointments, chemo treatments, and the hospital. It's part of, what the battle with cancer, looks like. You and your family, learn this real quick.

The kind people from Presbyterian, have asked me, to do a little drive. Along with our Love For Blue Fundraiser. So we'll be collecting a few items. New or used. To be donated back, to the Presbyterian Cancer Center.

First up, they have asked for new or used books. It's pretty obvious, you will spend countless hours...waiting. Waiting for doctors. Waiting for treatments. Waiting in bed...

And as amazing as Presbyterian, and their volunteers are, they've asked for magazines. Of all kinds. New and used. You wouldn't believe how many, I read, in just a year! And how many car magazines, my Dad enjoyed looking through. So clean up your coffee tables!

One thing that you might not think of, is puzzles. But it is one of the ways, many patients and family members...pass the time. My Mom, used to LOVE the puzzles, at our doctors' appointments. Many family members, sit around a table, working on big and small puzzles. Talking. It's a bit of a stress relief.

Another one of the "not so obvious" things we've been asked for, is games. At the hospital, they have a Family Room. And from experience, I know kids have to spend much time there. Waiting. While their loved ones, are very sick. We've been asked to collect some games.

Lastly, some DVDs. Did you know, that the oncology unit, has DVD players? In all the rooms! As a family, that spent many weeks in the hospital...it was a nice distraction. But the hospital doesn't have DVDs. That was something I'd bring from home. Please donate the DVDs, you don't watch anymore.

As you can see, many of the items we are asked for, are pretty common. Things that help distract us. Or take up some time. Items, that most of us have, in our homes. Or can buy, at the Dollar Tree.

On the day of our fundraiser, we'll have a box. To collect, some of these items. Then I'll deliver them, to the Chemo Treatment Center, MD Anderson Radiation Center, and the Oncology Unit. Please be generous. Many of the people, that are seeking treatment, come from out of town. And could use our help. Happy Friday! ❤❤❤
