A request...
Sep. 19th, 2010 11:05 pmA very old and very dear friend of mine has a child that is terribly sick from leukemia. Little Henry is about Linc's age, but he's spent a lot of his childhood in a hospital room. He's back in the hospital again, and this time when they got settled, they found that all the DVDs in the ward have been stolen.
Leaving aside the karma that will descend upon the head of someone who would do such a rotten thing, I'd like to ask a favor. If you have a few bucks you'd be willing to put towards this project, here's my request:
Look on eBay for a Region 4 DVD of a favorite kids' movie (I picked WALL*E) being sold by someone who lives in Australia (to keep shipping costs low). Buy the DVD and request the seller to send it to the hospital.
Here's the address:
Fourth Floor Nurses Station
Royal Childrens' Hospital
Flemington Rd., Parkville Vic 3052
Australia
You can let them know that the gift is in honor of Henry Dewar, if you like.
And if you can't afford it, no worries. Just hug your kids, if you have 'em, a little harder for me tonight, OK?
