many hospitals say that the first thing a juvenile cancer patient asks for in the hospital is a movie. the problem is, there is often little to no funding to provide entertainment extras.
kidflicks is a terrific organization that provides a movie library of 100 dvd's per hospital. if you have kids and they have "outgrown" their dvd's, or if you're just in the holiday spirit and want to give, purchase a dvd and send it to:
Kid Flicks/Barta
11755 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90025 #1450
provide your name and return address so they can send you a thank you/receipt.
i know one of my greatest refuges during this time has been to plop down and forget everything in front of a movie. let's make the same opportunity available to some of our sick kiddos.
more info is available on their website, http://kidflicks.org
