The Gift of Reading

My children are, thankfully, healthy. That gives me all the more reason to support Sick Kids Hospital. My heart forever goes out to those who are not as fortunate as I, and so, this is one of two charities I support regularly with monthly contributions, as well as participating in events like Extra Life on an annual basis.

My daughters get to choose a charity to support each year at Christmas and what subsequent gift to give. They chose Sick Kids Hospital and selected the option to share our love of reading.

“Children use the Reading Room to escape from their daily and sometimes difficult hospital routine. Around the holidays children really love to read all the winter classics that we all love. Story-time and book delivery service, where books are delivered right to the children in their hospital bed, are just a couple of the children’s favourite services you can help support. Your gift may help provide a child with hours of enjoyment during their hospital stay and will help fund popular and classic books of all kinds – in different languages, on tape, and for all reading levels.”

On behalf of my family, and on behalf of my co-bloggers, Tiara and Mogsy and their families, I hope that the holidays are good to you and yours and wish you the very best for the new year. 🙂
