Trick or Treating at the Hospital

I belong to this group of female, horror filmmakers and one of them posted a story about when her son was in the Hospital over Halloween and how bummed he was missing out on trick or treating. That night a group of actors came through in costume and handed out toys for the kids and visited with them and that just made his Halloween.

She told her story to us and challenged everyone to visit the children's hospital in their home town on Halloween. So that's what I did. It was so rewarding, the kids really loved it. I collected lots of donations from local businesses, including a local comic book shop that gave every kid two comic books. It was awesome. So the next time Halloween or another holiday rolls around in your neighborhood, don't forget about the kids stuck in the hospital.
