6. Newblog2011: 10/11/11 "Pin Up a Pumpkin"
I was in a convenience store today. On the counter, there was a stack of pieces of paper for customers to take. They all say “Pin Up a Pumpkin” on them. Each one has a picture of a toddler in a pumpkin outfit on each side. All of them have the same picture of “Andy” on one side; that side is written in Spanish. I didn't put any of the capital letters into the text of what I transcribed here.
It says: “Combre una Calabaza de Esperanza” instead of “Pin Up a Pumpkin.”
Next to the picture of the little, Hispanic boy, it says:
“ANDY
paciente de St. Jude
“Calabaza Pequena”
2 anos, leucemia
linfoblastica aguda”

On the other side, some of the pieces of paper have a picture of a white or half-white, half-Asian, male toddler, and the others have a picture of a black, male toddler.
The picture of the white or half-Asian toddler says “St. Jude patient JOSIAH, “Little Pumpkin,” age 2, brain tumor.”
The picture of the black toddler says “St. Jude patient NYLAH, “Little Pumpkin,” age 2, Wilms tumor.”
All of the pieces of paper also say, on both sides:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 11, 2011
In very small print, under “St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” it says:
“ALSAC Danny Thomas, Founder”
Here’s what I found online on a search of ALSAC Danny Thomas, Founder, at the St. Jude Children’s Hospital website. I didn't put any of the bold print in that paragraph; that's how it was on the website:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The life of Danny Thomas and the history of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are commemorated in the Danny Thomas / ALSAC Pavilion, located on the campus of St. Jude.
The architecturally unique building contains years of memorabilia of late entertainer Danny Thomas, founder of St. Jude. The Pavilion is home to Emmy Awards and many accolades for Thomas' television show Make Room for Daddy, as well as other lifetime achievements.”

There's also a website listed. It says:

It goes to the same St. Jude website. Here's something else from that website:

"Fundraising and Donor News The 20th annual St. Jude Halloween Promotion asks shoppers to help fund lifesaving research and "treat"ment at St. Jude
Memphis, Tennessee. (September 30, 2011) – Shoppers headed out to local restaurants, grocery or convenience stores this October can get a jump-start on helping young trick-or-treaters by participating in the 20th annual St. Jude Halloween Promotion that raises funds to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly childhood diseases.
Throughout the month, participating retailers will ask guests to donate $1 or more in exchange for a pumpkin-shaped pinup they can personalize. Since the program began in 1992, MillerCoors, its distributors and other retailers have raised more than $52 million, $1 at a time, for the children of St. Jude."

There has to be a song that I can listen to while I complete this page, to block out the noise of being harassed by homeless women.
I have to go; I don't have time to do any more today.
