HELPING FAMILIES
Sometimes the money goes towards a mortgage or other bill payment. Other times the donation is for toys or a fun experience. And often we donate an item that helps manage the illness better – a piece of medical equipment, for example. Anything that makes life just a little bit easier for  sick children and their families makes a huge difference.
