After losing their home this year, the family moved twice, selling most of their belongings along the way so they could move into housing that is wheelchair accessible. Both parents receive monthly checks because of their disabilities, but there isn't anything extra for Christmas.
Household needs include food -- for the daughter or the parents -- and such non-perishables as size 4 diapers, wipes, toilet paper, shampoo, cleaning supplies, sheets for a queen bed and a queen-size mattress set to replace their worn-out one.
The daughter needs warm sleepers, size 12-month clothes (sleepers, coat, pants, shirts and T-shirts) and child's size 3 shoes and boots. Mom also suggests bathtub soap crayons and a little indoor-outdoor slide for their daughter to climb

When we see physicians or co-workers forget to wash their hands, we can tap on the counter or arm to remind them that they need to wash. For the calendar, we are featuring that particular physician champion in a photo. She is wearing boxing gloves and standing by the sink and a handwashing dispenser.�Med/surg private unit staff nurse Jeannine Kalil, RN, is a member of the hospital�s skin committee, a subcommittee of the patient safety council. �In setting up one of our photos for the calendar, we put a nurse in a bed with an air mattress and covered her in bandages.
