McLANE CHILDREN’S: PHILANTHROPIC OPPORTUNITY
My name is Lorenzo, and I am 4 years old (that’s 32 in dog years). I work with the Child Life team at Baylor Scott & White
McLane Children’s Medical Center helping kids feel better while they are in the hospital. I walk and play fetch with them during
therapy, cuddle with them during procedures, and help them feel less stressed by being their best puppy-dog pal.
We have a really special community that supports our hospital, especially during the holidays. Would you please help me thank
them? They’re paw-tastic!
All our kids have been extra good this year, so I’ve made a special Christmas list to help our community know what they might
need during their time at McLane Children’s:
Want: Need: Wear: Read:
Art supplies for all ages, video
games, and baby dolls (full
body, all plastic, multi-cultural) Pretend medical kits,
plastic infant toys,
and teethers Underwear and
socks of all sizes Sturdy board books and
chapter books in English
and Spanish
Santa, did you know that McLane Children’s is a non-profit?
Presents help our patients smile, but what we really need is a stocking full of funding to support life-saving care
for these good boys and girls. Gifts of $25, $50, $100 or more could help us purchase equipment like a Video Laryngoscope
($10,000) which helps doctors view a patient’s airway in emergencies.
Thanks, Santa. You’re the top dog! I’ll leave some of my favorite doggy treats for the reindeer on Christmas Eve!
Your pal,
Child Life Facility Dog
P.S. Some of my friends in the hospital are very sick, and we don’t want to spread germs. Please make sure all items are brand
new and in original packaging!
