Sarita Zouvas knows what it's like to have a child in the hospital. Her daughter, Isabella -- who died while receiving treatment for cancer -- spent many days in the hospital, and Zouvas says it's hard to anticipate what items from home will make a child's stay more comfortable.

"We don't go prepared," she says. "You don't take clothes; you don't know what's going on. You get there and they put a gown on them. My first response is, 'I want to make them comfortable because they're scared.'"

Zouvas has found a way to bring comfort to the lives of children at her local Children's Hospital. And her goal is to make sure every child admitted to the hospital during the holiday season gets a complimentary pair of pajamas.

After the death of her daughter, Zouvas became involved with the Friends of Scott Foundation (FSF) -- a non-profit organization founded in memory of Scott Delgadillo who lost his life to childhood cancer. FSF strives to help children with cancer and their families with emotional and financial support in order to cope with this devastating disease. Zouvas became a part of the FSF support team and is thrilled she can help bring comfy jammies to sick children.

Zouvas says the response to her call for help has been overwhelming. Most pajamas are donated and have come from as far away as Boston. Employees of the San Diego Padres, Southwest Airlines, and the district attorney's office have also helped Zouvas in the endeavor she hopes will continue year-round.

Hollywood image makers tend to create one-dimensional figures of celebrity stars. It takes effort to break free from being a cardboard product to being a three-dimensional human being. Eva Longoria, best known for her role as sexy Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, and more recently, for the Maxim magazine cover that can be seen from space, is both beauty and brains, and struggling with the media focus on issues that to her seem irrelevant. She would much rather speak about serious issues -- such as PADRES Contra El Cancer, parents against cancer, an organization committed to improving the quality of life for Latino children with cancer and their families -- than publicly talk about her personal sex life. Longoria is the PADRES spokeswoman.

In 1985, PADRES was created when two American Cancer Society research studies reported that culturally relevant educational and emotional support services for the Latino patient were missing in the medical community. While PADRES is oriented to the Latino community, and serving predominantly Spanish-speaking people living with cancer, childhood cancer patients from all races and ethnic origins are welcome. According to PADRES, the organization, located in Southern California, is the only Latino organization of its kind operating within the United States. To learn more about PADRES, go here.
