Please Read - Selfishness and Selflessness
You are greedy and selfish.
So am I.
We all come to this site and enjoy it freely, never sending Astro a check or giving any money to Internet Brands.
You have a computer/phone that you read the site on. You have $20 in your pocket. You have your health and a roof over your head.
Once a year, though, we have a chance to NOT be selfish.
Once a year AZine asks you to toss some spare change into a hat for sick kids who are in the hospital and will not get any toys for Christmas.
I said SICK KIDS IN THE HOSPITAL who will NOT GET TOYS for Christmas.
I mean, they already feel like shit because they are in the hospital, and the thought of not getting a toy for Christmas must just break their hearts. Their parents are spending all their money on the hospital bills not knowing if the kids are going to make it.
YOU have the chance to give that child a smile and a toy. Think of how happy that kid will be when he or she opens the wrapping paper and sees what YOU gave him or her!
This charity gives 100% of the donations to the kids. NO admin fees, no 80 cents on the dollar.
If you have already given, thank you.
If you have not, please look into your heart and your wallet and give $5 or $10 or $20.
You are the ONLY way these kids are getting a single toy for Christmas.
Thanks.

I was diagnosed with cancer the second week of November, just started chemo and radiation treatment Monday. I've seen lots of kids in the waiting room as well as lots of newspaper articles and tv stories you see about them. Kids that aren't even teenagers yet and may never be teenagers. I went through the doom and gloom and why me for awhile and then realized I'm almost 50. I've seen and had lots of fun and made me think I'm pretty lucky compared to these kids. I'll kick in on this one as I have a whole knew outlook on life currently. The put yourself in their shoes saying may not register to you now, but one day it may for you or a loved one.
