Philanthropy Friday #6

Shriners Hospitals for Children: $5

I'm cheating a little with this one. I happen to work for a charity. I purchased something that was needed with my own funds (long story) and decided it was such a small amount I wouldn't worry about getting reimbursed.

In case you didn't know, Shriners Hospitals for Children is a system of 22 hospitals throughout North America specialising in various areas of paediatric care, including orthopaedics, burns, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, and cleft lip and palate. (Follow the link to see which hospital does what). The hospital I work for is an orthopaedics hospital. Care is provided at no financial obligation to the patients or their families.
