Please go vote here. Colgate is donating a Fun Center to all of the hospitals on the list. However, whoever receives the most votes will receive an extra Fun Center.
Fun Centers are mobile units that provide endless entertainment and help turn worry into laughter and weariness into delight! Fun Centers feature a flat screen monitor, DVD player and a Nintendo® Wii. The Centers roll right up to a child’s bedside to provide hours of game play and movie watching.
In 3.5 months, Emma and I have been in the hospital 3 times. We are hopeful that we are done with those experiences, however, we know that it is likely we will have to go back at any time. And while Emma is too young to use one of the Fun Centers, the children we’ve seen in the hospital definitely deserve this welcome distraction.
Even though we don’t know what is wrong with Emma and each visit has been a scary ordeal for us, each time we have gone, I feel like we are so lucky. Emma has no idea why she’s in the hospital and has spent most of the time sleeping. The older children that have been there don’t have that luxury. They are there, some in pain, and need something to take their minds off of where they are. Children’s Hospital of Michigan does the best they can to provide distractions for the kids, but any extra help is always welcome.
Please go vote! And vote every day!
