Toys for Comfort




Stetson 2 years ago after his accident wanted to do something for the Childrens hospital in Boise. So he decided to do a toy drive so that the kids in the hospital would have toys to pick from for their birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays. We collected 600 plus toys that year. We didn't do it last year due to a surgery and some other things that came up but we definitly are doing it this year. Our favorite Arena Football team helped us out this year. At the final game the team played which was also the first playoff game that our team made it to, we did a kickoff. It wasn't advertised real well so the turn out wasn't great for the toys but we did get some, and as I told the kids, "Some is better than None". I think we got 12 or so to start off with. Thank You to The Boise Burn for their help.
On another note, Stetson was invited to attend a teen panel at the hospital for the designing of the Teen Room. The teen room was a vision of one of the patients that the hospital had. He past away last year. On the panel was this young mans brother and several of his friends. Stetson was invited because of his personality and because they thought that he could help with some ideas of what they could do. The teen room will be completed in a few months.
