How It Makes A Difference
Your kind words in hand-decorated cards lets families caring for critically ill children know that you care and they are not alone in their journey. Social isolation is a familiar experience of families. Many children facing critical illness also have compromised immune systems. Your cards are placed into Care Packages of food, gift cards and essential items, and help families know that they are not alone in their journey.
