5 Minutes for Mom blogged a story about a little boy who has serious health problems.



Parker’s list of medical challenges seems endless, as do his list of medical bills. (His parents have insurance, but that only covers some of the costs.)
And again Parker is in the hospital.
So often we read about children like Parker and think we wish we could help. But this time we can help in a simple way.
We’ve created a games page where the advertising revenue earned while the games are being played will go to Parker. It’s not much… but every penny counts, right?
If you can post this button on your blog and spread the word, we can all show Parker some love.
