Smile Can I put my $0.02 in?

Quote:
I bought a pack of combs at the dollar store to hand out and a couple child sized tooth brushes. We're told that they may come with nothing so I grabbed a few things I thought may be useful. Anything else I should add to the list?


I would pick up plain white socks from the dime store, a couple of board games and decks of cards. You might want to splurge on bubble bath, kids soaps and scented shampoo, I fear they might be dirty too. I've been told baby wipes are a very important item too

If you can find a kids size robe in a neutral color, that might be handy if they don't have PJ's.

Any good way to find a dentist /doctor that will take MI Medicaid/care (Which do they get? I always forget.)


I worked in a hospital for 10 years and I would call the nearest hospital's Physician Referral Service (the hospital operator can give you the number) and request the names and phone numbers of pediatricians who accept Medicaid.

Check garage sales (hey, it's spring, that's garage sale season!) for kids clothes, pj's, toys, videos, games, etc. Duffles or suitcases will be a plus so they can take their things with them when they leave.
