The United Healthcare Children's Foundation is helping families with medical expenses in Kentucky.  Holiday gifts are actually helping to fund grants for families who need financial assistance.

Children’s books, toys, and more from the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) will not only make great gifts but will fund child medical grants.

Holiday gift ideas include award-winning Oliver & Hope children’s storybooks with matching plush characters and entertaining children’s joke books.  For kids who love games, Digit’y Do would be a great gift that brings fun and learning together.

These products are available at smile.Amazon.com  (search for UHCCF) and 100 percent of the proceeds go to fund medical grants for children throughout the U.S.  In the past five years, UHCCF has awarded over 200 grants to children and their families across Kentucky. Kentucky families with high medical expenses for their children should go to www.uhccf.org to review criteria and submit an online application.

What an awesome idea!  You're already shopping anyway why not make it twofold and help families in need too!
