In times of crisis families band together and reach out for help. Such is the case with the family of little Vincent Conde. Vincent is a two-year-old who is undergoing radiation treatments following brain surgery to remove a tumor. He must also undergo several blood transfusions that add exponentially to the cost of his recovery. You can help Vincent and his family every time you donate blood. The next time you donate blood, regardless of your blood type, ask that your donation be credited to Vincent Conde, Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. Your blood will stay with your local blood bank and will help ensure that the blood banks are replenished. But most importantly your donation will give a ten-dollar credit to the cost of Vincent's care that will help his family in this time of need.

The children with For Kids Only, Inc. are offering their support to their peers who lost parents in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. They recorded a CD single called Light a Candle for the Child that directly benefits needy children and families that have lost one or both parents during the events of September 11th.
