Bites, Cuts, and Infections

As you have probably seen, we have a post outlining a list of items that we need to be donated here at the Center. Some of the most important supplies needed are in the health and medical care area, such as Advil, children's Tylenol, skin cream (polysporin), rash medicine, bandaids, etc. These photos demonstrate why we need these items. Loraina was bit by a bee while she was sleeping, and Kelvin's hand was bit by a dog. We often have kids coming to the Center with infections and cuts and scrapes that we can treat easily if we have these supplies. Loraina spent 2 days like this before she came to the Club and we saw, and gave her Benedryl, and Kelvin had to go to the hospital for an injection.
