HOW DO WE SPREAD HOPE?

COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING

AWARENESS IS THE FIRST STEP TO A CURE AND BETTER TREATMENTS FOR MANY RARE, CHRONIC, SERIOUS DISEASES. WE ENCOURAGE KIDS AND FAMILIES TO GET INVOLVED IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR DISEASE TO CREATE MORE COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING, AND ACCEPTANCE. MANY OF THESE KIDS LOOK FAIRLY WELL ON THE OUTSIDE BUT CAN BE VERY ILL ON THE INSIDE!

FAMILY SUPPORT AND RESOURCES

SOMETIMES FAMILIES ARE JUST SO OVERWHELMED WITH CARING FOR THEIR CHRONICALLY ILL CHILD, THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM. WE HOPE TO EXPAND THIS PART OF OUR FOUNDATION AS WELL TO BE ABLE TO SHARE LOCAL AND NATIONAL RESOURCES WITH FAMILIES.

CUSTOM HOPE-FILLED PACKAGES

THESE PACKAGES ARE CUSTOM MADE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OUT THERE WHO MAY BE GOING THROUGH A ROUGH TIME OR EXPERIENCING AN EXTENDED HOSPITAL STAY. EACH SMALL PACKAGE COMES WITH A SPECIAL CARD AND MESSAGE OF HOPE AS WELL!

KID-POWERED HOPE PROJECTS

KID POWERED HOPE PROJECTS ARE POWERED BY OUR JUNIOR BOARD MEMBERS AND HOPE ANGELS! A KPH PROJECT CAN BE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THAT BRINGS HOPE TO SOMEONE OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE SOMEWHERE IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY! PROJECTS CAN BE BIG OR SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE TO COST A LOT OF MONEY! WE WANT TO EMPOWER OUR YOUTH AROUND THE WORLD TO REALIZE HOPE STARTS WITH THEM :)

HOPE ANGEL PROGRAM

OUR HOPE ANGEL PROGRAM IS MEANT TO EXPAND OUR KID POWERED PROJECTS ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED CAN APPLY THROUGH THE WEBSITE AND BECOME A PART OF OUR HOPE FAMILY! WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE MORE HOPE INFUSING WORLDWIDE BY OTHER KIDS!

PHYSICIAN EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND GENETICS

BETTER TREATMENTS AND MORE QUALITY OF LIFE IS WHAT MOST KIDS WANT WHO STRUGGLE WITH SERIOUS ILLNESS. WHEN THAT ILLNESS/ DISEASE IS A RARE AND POORLY UNDERSTOOD ONE, IT IS DIFFICULT FOR FAMILIES TO GET GOOD, COORDINATED CARE. WHEN A CHILD DOES NOT FIT INTO A ” DIAGNOSTIC BOX”, EVEN GOOD DOCTORS STRUGGLE WITH FINDING BETTER OPTIONS. WE HOPE TO EXPAND THIS PART OF OUR FOUNDATION IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO BY USING OUR FIRST HAND EXPERIENCES WITH THIS, AND START TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR OTHER FAMILIES!
