Dear Friends:
Happy fall! We have a few exciting updates to share with you:
1. My Little Waiting Room has served 2,000 appointments! In just six months since our opening on April 5, we met this major milestone. Visit www.mylittlewaitingroom.org/test to read heartwarming comments from our trailblazing first families. One mom sums up her experience by saying, "Thank you for allowing me to take care of my son while you take care of my daughter."
2. We've raised nearly $99,000. Wow! Special thanks go to the following organizations that made donations recently: Ikea (again!) Walmart, Hitachi, Providence Health System Federal Credit Union (again!), Celebration of the Creche for Children and Providence St. Vincent Employees (again!). And thanks to all of you friends and family members for your generosity! Visit www.providencefoundations.org/foundations/news-and-events/Pages/hospital-drop-in-child-care.aspx to read details about the service and/or donate.
3. Light a Fire. We are a finalist for Portland Monthly magazine's Light a Fire award called, "Purely for the Love." We'll find out on Oct. 27 if we've won. Thanks to friends Shawn Jones and Erika Simms for getting us nominated!
4. It's official. Thanks to our pro-bono intellectual property attorney Chris Erickson at Tonkon Torp, MY LITTLE WAITING ROOM® is now a registered trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
5. Do You Tube? We tube. See inside our first location on Tony Martinez' Better TV story on our new YouTube channel. Visit us there at www.youtube.com/mylittlewaitingroom and hear one family's heartwarming story.
As always, thank you for your good wishes and support!

Survey Says!
Thanks to you, we've received more than 200 survey responses so far at www.mylittlewaitingroom.org. Here are a few of the comments received to date:
“I think you have a wonderful idea... I can't tell you what went through my mind as the doctor told me that I might have liver cancer while his nurse held my daughter in an exam room next door."
“I have a son with a rare genetic disorder. Finding care for my other son while we attend doctor's appointments is always a challenge - especially when there's an emergency."
“I think you have a GREAT idea. Not everyone has family and neighbors to depend on.”
