Shriners Children's Boston is near and dear to my heart. In 2010, while at a neighbor's home, my 8-year-old daughter Olivia collided with a pot scalding water that spilled on her shoulder and back causing second and third-degree burns. Shriners took wonderful care of her - through multiple surgeries and skin grafts she was in the hospital for almost a month. Over the years, Olivia continued treatment at Shriners until she was 21, undergoing multiple laser surgeries each year to manage her scar outcome. This was all at no cost to us thanks to the incredible Shriners Hospital.
You can join us in thanking Shriners Hospital on behalf of these four Medway families by pulling off the can tab after you drink your seltzers, and sodas and save it. You can still return the can for deposit after the tab
has been removed. (Medway Lions can still collect and redeem the cans without tabs for money as well). Once you have a bunch collected, send them in with your child to drop in a container in our main office at McGovern School.

Thank you for considering this simple but meaningful act of kindness for this amazing hospital and organization!
