True Spirit of Christmas....




With Christmas time and all of the other winter holidays approaching ... everyone seems to get more generous and sometimes we are looking for a place that really NEEDS your help.   There are millions of 'charities' out there. Some are real and do help but many are rip offs.  I have found 2 that are genuine and really help those who need it.  And... they are in your community.

The First and one of the most important but most frequently overlooked... are the  Shriners Hospitals.  This is a group of hospitals that cares for children around the country. Each hospital specializes in one area.  The local Shriners specializes in orthopedic care for children.  They provide all care necessary and don't charge for their services.  They will take insurances if you have them, but if not, your child is not refused care.

The Second and also over looked many times are the Ronald McDonald Houses.  These houses provide a place to stay for families who have brought their child to a hospital that is a distance from their homes.  Tampa has 8 of theses houses.



Both of these are real groups of people who help families and children that are in need of care.   If you really want to help someone that really needs it.. please consider one of both of these!!
