A Good Deed

Hi. My name is Liza Herlands. I'm thirteen years old, and as a part of my Bat Mitzvah on May 21, 2005, I did a "mitzvah" project, which is a good deed done by someone. I chose to collect gently used children's books and VHS movies and donate them to the children who have been operated on and supported by NFFR.

NFFR helps doctors help children with facial deformities live normal lives. I think what they do is very important. NFFR makes sure that any child who needs care gets it. Every child deserves the right to live their lives to the fullest and everyone in this hospital helps to make this come true. I wanted to make sure that these children had fun during this process, even though it might be the hardest thing they may ever have to go through. The smallest things, even books and movies, can make their stay better than they would have expected. I hope to make this a tradition and come back next year with another batch of tapes and books for the children.

Sincerely, Liza
