...but I wanted to formally make an announcement...
I know I hinted at something being in the works a few weeks back for the holidays. And then DrummerWife lost her job, and we had to sort that mess out, and wait to hear back from some parties regarding our little plan. Everything has fallen into place, though not the way we originally anticipated.
I would like to take this opportunity to officially announce that we are going to be operating a small toy drive in Aaron's honor this holiday season. This is something that I have felt called to do for several weeks now, and thanks to DrummerWife's (and others) organization over the last few weeks, it's finally a reality.
Initially, we wanted to honor Aaron's memory by gathering toys for hospitalized children at Bryn Mawr Hospital - the same hospital that Aaron spent his entire short life in. But, after contacting Bryn Mawr about making a toy donation to them...they never returned our calls.
So...we've decided to donate toys to ANOTHER hospital. The Hershey Medical Center, to be exact. They've got a huge, great children's ward, and any hospital is just as deserving as any other.
So, here's the plan: we want any of you who care to join us to purchase a toy that meets the requirements on this list, and then, if you don't already know our address, or the address of our parents, email me @ joshua.r.young@gmail.com, and I'll get it to you, and then we want you to send the gift to us, and we'll make one big donation in Aaron's name to the children's ward some time during December.
I'm sorry it took so long to get this information out to you. We tried to get this together as fast as we could, but once again, life interfered with our plans. :)
If you want to do anything to help remember Aaron this holiday season, please participate in this with us, or simply make a donation to your own nearby children's ward in Aaron's name. Since Aaron spent his entire life in the hospital, we want to do what we can for children who are stuck living there over the holiday season.
Thank you!
