The Lollipop Theater / myLot

This morning about 4a. I found myself still awake and looking for something to watch. I chose The Kelly Clarkson Show. It just happened that several of the cast of the last Jurassic Park movie was on it. (I so love Jeff Goldblum and he was one of them)At the end of the show, they had a sequence about The Lollipop Theater which is a non-profit organization that brings current entertainment, such as movies, to children that are confined to hospitals due to illness. The two major stars, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard actually visited the hospital where they had shown the last Jurassic Park movie, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. They met with the children and the parents. They said it was such an experience. They told the story of one little boy who was dying and all he had ever asked of his parents was to see Monster, Inc. The organization was able to get the film and his parents were so happy that their son was able to see his favorite movie before he passed.

I like these charities like The Lollipop Theater who assist children to see their favorite movies from their hospital beds and meet their favorite stars in person.

@celticeagle I have heard stories of the Make A Wish foundation granting children their wish to meet their favorite person.

A little effort goes a long way. Such a beautiful story and such inspiring people! We have a similar organization in Serbia and it always unites the people with its projects.
