And he puzzled
three hours,
'till
his puzzler was sore.
Then the
Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," he thought,
"doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas ... perhaps ...
means a little bit more!"
from
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS
by DR . SEUSS
Consider
the following from the Center for a New American Dream,
"The commercialized holiday culture encourages every
one to focus on getting stuff, for our kids and ourselves.
But many religious traditions instruct us that true joy
and purpose come from focusing on the needs of others. This
year, consider more gifts of charity that touch the hearts
and lives of people who are less privileged."
The
Brian Morden Foundation has created "Issy" to
help make a difference. All proceeds from the sale of Issy
will go to help fund Ewing's Sarcoma research.
"Issy"
costs $10.
Please consider:
1. Adopting
Issy for someone else.
We'll send him to a cancer patient at Children's Hospital
in Pittsburgh, a Ewing's sarcoma patient you may know or
on our list, any childhood cancer patient. (A card with
your name will be sent along with Issy
to indicate to the recipient that Issy was purchased especially
for them.)
2. Purchasing
Issy for a loved one
who would enjoy a cuddly bear.
3. Using Issy
to be a gift card holder for a loved.
4. Adopting
Issy
for yourself. He's SO cuddly!
