So why do we give back to these pediatric institutions?
Because they're literally saving the lives of kids.
And as Glennon, our friend, well, your friend, but I'm trying to make her my friend, Glennon Doyle says there's no such thing as other people's children.

When we were going through all, my dad had Pick's disease, which is a very rare and aggressive form of dementia.
and he got it young she died at 66 and I was not just caregiving and my mother was caregiving for him.
I was caregiving for my son who you know went through all these heart surgeries for years and on oxygen and all the things it's so hard to be a caregiver.
So this organization started by our friend.
But we're doing it right now yeah, they don't expect another exactly you better be happy with it OK Merry Christmas.
So she started this organization called mind what matters her mother.
She had Alzheimer's for 13 years and she was her primary caregiver so we we put financial grants into the pockets of caregivers.
And because what we realized was like caregivers, they go down sometimes quicker than the person with the illness.
And so it helps them to maybe bring somebody in for a day or two days so that they can have a break, go to their doctor's appointments.
The other thing we do is we help to educate women on their own health.
Because this has been something that we have not done great with.
