CHRISTMAS PROJECT - Shriner's Hospital

We have felt so grateful for all the Shriners has done for our daughter. They have not only treated her free of charge, but they are an amazing organization. I have never seen a hospital system work so smoothly, and be so centered around the "patient".

So this Christmas we are trying to gather enough funds to help pay for a new large toy for the x-ray waiting room. Their current toys have been well loved and are missing many parts.

If you want to donate to help our cause, please go to www.helpoliviataylor.com, and select CONTACT US.

Here is the web-link of the item we are getting if you want to read more.

There is also a LARGE area that used as a play room. We wanted to buy a large play structure for the kids to play on. We are getting the playcenter by Step2 called "Naturally Playful Clubhouse Climber". (if you want to look it up on line.)

Both these toys will cost $1,000 total. So if you can help contribute that would be great. We have decided to only buy our children one gift each this year, and really teach them about service, and giving to others that are in real need. We think that this is the true spirit of Christmas. We don't want out kids to be obsessed with what they are getting, since they should be focussed on GIVING. Besides giving is much more enjoyable then receiving when done well.
