Pascale's Pals....

There is an organization here in Columbia, Missouri, Pascale's Pals, there daughter was diagnosed with cancer years ago and they know what it was like for children and families to live at the hospital so they give children a basket.  They are a blessing to the Univeristy of Missouri Children's Hospital, they provided flat screen TV for each room, on the Pediatric floor they provided Wi's for each room.  I know when we were here in August, they provided meal vouchers for families.  Our Social worker, Lauren, asked me what Jeremy would like so we came up with a colored Nook, the electronic book, they brought up his basket on Thursday, he got a Nook, $25 Barnes and noble gift card where I can download J some books.  He got a baseball cap from Nascar drive #60, Carl Edwards of the Ameriquest car who is a local Columbia boy.  He got a boy study bible, several movies, journel.  I had trouble downloading the pictures so will try again later tonight or tomorrow....

I sent the organization an email telling them how much we appreciated receiving the basket, Jeremy being so far away from home as made us feel like we belong here.  They asked if they could come up to video me, telling them what it meant for J to get the basket and Jeremy, I told her anything I can do to help, it's a great organization.  They do a yearly gala fundraiser for their organizations, so they will play the video in trying to get people to vote on baskets....
