One of the most heartbreaking realities of life is a critiacally ill child.  Seeing them still, sad, uncomfortable and in pain leaves you feeling completely helpless.  Pretty sad picture.  In situations like these, there are things we can do.  Organizations like Hugs and Hope give us lots of lots of opporutunity to help. “We can’t take their pain away; but we can help make life a little more tolerable by sending a cheery card and a little love to children battling life-threatening conditions. The Hugs and Hope Foundation, a nonprofit charity created by a disabled grandmother after her grandson was badly burned, touches the lives of hundreds of kids across the country.”

Critically ill children suffering from serious illnesses, injuries, or handicaps generally have very little to be happy and cheerful about, but the volunteers of the Hugs and Hope Foundation try to give them a reason to be happier by sponsoring National Make a Difference to Children Month every July.

If you want to help just checkout the website and get the address to mail a child a card!  How easy is that!
