400 DVD movies last fall. 

Donations via credit card can made by completing the information found

Note:  A portable DVD player costs about $100.  We want to be able to
issue one to each patient when they check into Bethesda.  GWC has raised
$3,800 so far.  Our goal is $5,000 by 15 March.  We are working on
