Share a Smile and Send a Free Valentine to Sick Kids in Children’s Hospitals

Valentine's Day means chocolates and flowers to many of us - but this year, you can make it about something even more special: children.

Across the United States, there are kids who are so sick, they'll be spending Valentine's Day in the hospital. While that's definitely a tough situation, you can make their day just a little brighter - and it's FREE and takes less than a minute.

According to Simplemost, children's hospitals around the country are holding "Valentine's Drives" to deliver some cheer to their patients. All you have to do is pick a hospital, and fill out a greeting - and voila! Valentine sent.
