Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Isaiah and his mom for a chat. Isaiah had his first heart surgery when he was 5. His nurse could see he was scared, so she brought him a goodie bag. In it, amongst other things, was a coloring book and crayons, which put a smile on his face! Ever since then, he has collected coloring books (for all ages), crayons, markers, and colored pencils to donate to St. Louis Children's hospital, Madison Medical Center and Parkland Hospital, to be given out to children who are scared. If you would like to donate, there are donation boxes set up in Fredericktown at BMW Convenience, Huddle House, Parkland Health Mart Pharmacy, C-Barn, Pizza Hut, Casey's, Brown's Self Storage, Chuck's Short Stop and Subway. If you are in Farmington, you can drop donations off at Parkland Health Mart Pharmacy, St. Francois County Recorder of Deeds office, Subway and Steak N Shake. If you are unable to get out, you can mail your donations to Isaiah's Colorful Heart PO Box 150 Fredericktown, Mo 63645 You can also find Isaiah's Colorful Heart on Facebook, there you will find more up to date information.
