It's a subsidized hotel around the corner in downtown L.A. This is a fairly bleak place and has 22 families and sometimes children in these areas are forgotten. Well at the Huntington - not anymore!!!<BR/><BR/>Here's an article about it: http://ladowntownnews.com/articles/2008/09/08/news/09-08-08-news05.txt <BR/><BR/>It was really nice to do something for our favorite people - kids! Paying it forward creates such magic in their lives! It would be so special to donate a FELT BOARD STORY to one of these sweet kiddies!<BR/><BR/>And, my favorite story? I love, love, love A OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY Flannel Board Story.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for this fabulous give~away! : )))<BR/><BR/>Leah.<BR/><BR/>leahita[at]gmail[dot]comLeahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01882007700555508250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469860017112145579.post-83500092755682531562008-12-20T16:57:00.181-08:002008-12-20T16:57:00.181-08:00I don't know if this qualifies but I went to the grocery store and donated lots of canned goods to our food shelter in our county as they are having difficulties filling their shelves fir those in need this holiday season. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Email- karpos1999@gmail.

He has been on my mind around the clock because no one knew until he was born that Jonathan has only one arm. So the joy of having this new little guy is being a bit overshadowed by having to tell everyone that he is physically handicapped.<BR/>I think the arm was just so unexpected, like my friend said her biggest concern was wondering if the ultrasound was correct, if it was really going to be a boy and not a girl. It was a shock and they didn't have any time to prepare emotionally/mentally.<BR/>I can't imagine how I would have felt if one of my boys had a problem that I didn't know about until the minute they were born. Even when my friend told me on the phone I just felt my heart stop, my breath catch. When I went and held him I just wanted him to be protected from a possible lifetime of insensitive comments. I wanted to cry for the difficulties that will be in his path.<BR/>I wanted too to act like he was normal and fuss over him like any newborn.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to baby sit tomorrow, well not really baby sit but hold Jonathan while his mama does stuff around the house to get ready for Christmas company!CanCan (MomMostTraveled)http://www.mommosttraveled.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469860017112145579.post-74400557111975991102008-12-20T06:22:25.908-08:002008-12-20T06:22:25.908-08:00This weekend we are going as a family to take some names from the Christmas Angel tree.

My husband is a Marine who was injured overseas. I would want to take my two little boys to the hospital and let them "read" a story to their Dad.

If I got a free story, I would give it away. Also, I will (probably even if I don't get the story) pay your kindness forward by offering a small gift to someone who needs their spirits lifted.Jinglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04135169958496700780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469860017112145579.post-37456316299464803302008-12-09T09:26:52.794-08:002008-12-09T09:26:52.794-08:00I would donate this to Toys for Tots this Christmas.

With the economy as it is, libraries are being used more readily than ever before. I think it is important for parents to bring their children to the library to interact with adults, children, books, and to be entertained and educated during storytimes and other library activities. In order for many kids to get exposure to the wonderful world of flannel board stories, I would donate the free felt board story to my local library. There they would use it over and over again and would reach many children over many years.Amanda H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469860017112145579.post-53622886626943373442008-12-01T12:34:56.173-08:002008-12-01T12:34:56.173-08:00I would host a preschool at my house for the kids in my neighborhood!

They do so much for my little guys and they LOVE using their felt board to tell stories.
