Brightening a Child's Season
Ok, this is my yearly plug for my pet charity, called Child's Play. It was started a few years ago by a few gamers who also run a web comic, who were tired of the media always portraying the "gamer" community as drunk and/or violent people apt to go on a rampage at any given moment. They started out hoping to collect a few toys for their local children's hospital in Seattle, and were overwhelmed by the toys and donations that came in from around the world. And it has only gotten bigger every year since. It is easy to donate if you are so inclined, just visit the site, choose the children's hospital you are interested in helping, and that link take you to an Amazon wish list. Pick your toy and off it goes, you are all done!
It doesn't take much, just one small toy can bring hope and laughter to a child who otherwise is just hurting and in pain.
Just thought I would share, since this is the one charity I make a point of being involved in every year. And I figured since I have a blog, I might as well use it to tell other people about them. Helping other people makes me happy, and these kids need as much help as we can give them.
