The Problem

Problem is chilren battling for their lives, diagnosed with what could be a termonal illness, are stuck in hospital beds 24/7- with little to smile about. My goal is give give them a reason to grin.We would do so by personally creating each card by hand. Bracelets would also be made and purchased- all proceeds going towards the cause <3

Why It's Important

I realize that I, like many others, take for granted that I am blessed with good health. I'd like to reach out to children, and make they're day that much better letting them know that they are'nt forgotton, people care for them.

The Plan Of Action

To set up this movement I plan younger children in on this project if they choose to help, and loo0o0ve arts'n'crafts. We would make special personally written heart felt cards for many children so they know they are significant. They matter.

How Can Others Get Involved?

IF VOLUNTEER HOURS ARE NEEDED. WE'D BE HAPPY TO SIGN OFF ON THEM. As mentioned earlier any child or auldt is welcome to help. If you don't hve time to be here with us, you're welcome to make them at home or in your own time and drop them off or send them in. Whats better than children helping other children right? :)
