The "are you happy and you know raise your hand" commercial is so annoying i immediately cringe and change the channel.please everyone do the world a favor and donate to abused,homeless,starving children and animals!

I cannot express how grateful we are for Shriners hospitals for children is a wonderful hospital, and we will forever be grateful for them. It is an excellent place. 

I was born with three thumbs, an extra digit on my left hand. I grew up poor so my parents couldn’t afford to pay for surgery so I could get it removed. My family doctor was able to get me a referral to be seen at Shriner’s and the rest is history. They did the surgery for FREE and all my post-op care and therapy for no cost as well. I was incredibly self conscious about my extra thumb and wanted it removed more than anything in the world; Shriner’s made that happen for me and I struggle to put into words how thankful I am for them.
