“Holiday Drive for Children’s Hospital Oncology – We know first-hand how much the gifts mean to children who are sick during or cannot be home for the holidays, and so we are extra grateful!!”

“Dear PoPville,

My neighbors’ twin boys do an annual toy-drive for children’s national. Several years ago Savi battled leukemia and both he and his brother know the generosity of strangers during holiday season as people made sure both Savi AND Marcel received gifts as they celebrated the holidays in the hospital. In the years since, they collect gifts for about six weeks and ensure that every single pediatric cancer patient AND THEIR SIBLINGS can have a festive holiday with gifts, even if they’re cooped up in the hospital. Last year they collected so many that they had to ask a moving company to help them deliver.”

I may not have a substack but I still gots the goods!!

From an email:

“ANC 1A has sent the owner of Johnny’s All American Bar a cease and desist letter (full letter below).
