Gamers helping children as they get well in hospitals
www.childsplaycharity.org
Kids in hospitals across the world feel pretty crappy while they're recovering from treatments, surgeries and the likes.
Wouldn't it be cool if they had something fun to take their minds off of it all during those tough times?
Child's Play offers donations through Amazon.com that will ship the toys directly to the hospitals of your choice (from their list of over 70 hospitals across the globe) as well as direct money payments through PayPal (through which they will buy scads of toys, video games and the likes.)
