Children in the Hospital

Unfortunately we get civilians - children to be specific, who have been caught up in the turmoil. This is Ahmad, a 10 year old boy who lives in the little town outside the gate. He broke his arm playing soccer (football in this country) and had it set by a local doctor. They do not have an xray machine so he came to us to see if it was correctly placed. Unfortunately, it wasn't so we took him to the OR to set it again. He has the most beautiful eyes! Of course, I wouldn't tell a boy that but he does.
We noticed that we have even fewer kids items here. When looking for something to give Ahmad, I noticed we only had a few boy items. I had to replace his shirt with a man's shirt. And most of the few toys we had were for girls. Luckily, I found a puzzle with a train on it. So any childrens clothes, toys, books, etc would also be useful. Our patients range in age from babies to teens. (Notice the scratchy green army blanket he is laying on and covered up with.)

Please see my previous posting to get my mailing address if you have anything to donate.

Thank you to all who have already collected items to help the marines in the hospital. The clothes will be greatly appreciated.
