A Time to Give

Dear All:

Oksana wants to give back to the children of Shriner's and the wonderful care she receives, this holiday season and beyond.

She has talked about the children that live every day in a hospital room.

Most have nothing to do but watch TV/DVDs/play games and do activities, while under painful treatment. These activities are their only release. Most are severly burned and spend months/years undergoing painful operations and recuperations.

Each time we go there, Oksana gets the best care and thankfully, we get to leave without the scars these children will endure the rest of their lives.

As we did our most recent surgery, Oksana and I noticed that they had a wonderful selection of DVD's for the kids, but they did not last forever for a child that might be there for weeks- months.

Nor, did they have other language DVDs or PG rated adult Dvds as many of the children and parents have come from all over the world.

So we gratefully ask that if anyone wants to donate slightly used or new DVD's to Shriners, we would be excited for you to join us. You may send them to your own local Shriner's or if you would like to send them to us, as we will be taking them to the Cincinnati Shriner's for Oksana to give to her new/old friends that have endured many painful surgeries for burns, clefts and ear pinnings.

If you would like to send us your DVD's or other donations (toys gifts) we will be happy to take them to the children, as Oksana will give them back to her special friends and others.

We can make many trips :)

A simple email and I will give you the address to send, at boomerseyler@yahoo.com

Thank you!
From,
Oksana and all of us!
