Comment	Hello I don't know how to ask this but here goes. I was wondering if you helped families to get maybe a hospital mattress for someone who needs something long term. 11 years ago my son was born with his bowels on the outside. And a member of the Lions Club approached my mom when he over herd her saying she didn't know what I was going to do when I had to leave the hospital. And my son was still in. It would have tore me up inside to leave him. And they offered to help me stay at the Ronald MacDonald House so I would still be close to my baby. Well my son is now 11 years old and has since had 36 surgeries. And on a mential level he is only between 3 & 5 years old even though to look at him he looks normal. He is in and out of the hospital all the time. And he is on a feeding machine for 12-14 hours out of the day. Which means he is in Pull-ups at night. He has an old captian's bed that was my grandmothers. it is still in good shape. But the Mattress is bad. He sometimes wets through. And because I have to have his mattress propet up so that he is sleeping on about a 35 degree angle, and with him moving around so much in his sleep the plastic coverings don't stay on. And I have his feeding machine just sitting on this night stand. and the feeding bag hooked on the wall. I been looking for the top part of an IV pole also so I can drill a hole in the post of his headboard. But the main thing I was looking for help with is if you might be able to help with a hospital bed mattress with the covering. Thank you and please keep up the good work
