From my brother Harry:
I work as a crime scene photographer for the Los Angeles Police Department. There are times when the scene involves children. They are mostly brought to a studio in Police Headquarters where controlled lighting produces the best results of documenting their injuries.
They are quite often upset by the entire process.
One thing that makes them happy is the collection of stuffed animals we have to give away.
I cannot tell you how it feels to watch a child's face evolve from fear or dread to joy as they pick through the various stuffed toys we are always trying to keep an ample supply of. This is where you come in. We need the kind of stuffed animals you may have gotten from a trip abroad or just the 99ct store. The children pick out everything from popular TV characters to furry squid.
As long as they are not too much bigger than a basketball then anything proper goes. This really helps us keep going in our work, your age is of no difference, you can start a club to bring together those who wish to donate, and let them say what they will about what or "who" they give away. Let them know that their old friend will find new life making a child happy.
Thank you, if you don't have anything to give then at least pass this on, it will get there, thanks to you.
Donations can be sent or delivered to: Photo Lab, 150 N. Los Angeles St., Mail Stop 400, Los Angeles CA, 90012
