a COOL museum

The Omaha Children's Museum opened its doors to children suffering with weakened immune systems Monday evening, March 29.

The museum staff, who have been trained and supervised by medical professionals, wipe down and sanitize everything. The items that can't be wiped down are put away.

Executive director of the museum, Lindy Hoyer, expresses that this COOL event, Carefee Kids which ran from 5:30pm-8:30pm, is not about drawing huge crowds to the museum, it's about creating normalcy in the lives of the children and their families who live with compromised immune systems. Hoyer also states, "Every family deserves the chance to learn, play, and enjoy time together and we're very proud to offer this event that makes a visit to the museum possible."

Here's to you Lindy Hoyer, your staff, and others at the Omaha Children's Museum that make an event like this possible. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated and are very COOL! Stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!

Do you know of a museum or other venue that opens its doors to those suffering from compromised immune systems or any other ailment that makes it difficult to experience normalcy in their lives? What is it and what does it do?
