If you know of a child who is hospitalized, please let Jan know. And if you'd like to volunteer to send a balloon bouquet to one of our club kids, email

PARENT PALS COORDINATOR: Lucel-Melody
The coordinator matches volunteer "pals" with parents of our sick club kids. These Parent Pals stay in close contact with their assigned parent, sending encouragement via email and snail mail or maybe even telephone calls. The purpose of this project is to give each new parent a close friend they can count on when they're going through a rough time and feeling discouraged.
The parents of our sick club kids are under the special strain
of caring for an ill child, along with all the other responsibilities
of raising a family. Many of our kids have single parents, which in many
cases, increases this strain. Even the strongest of us need a 'Pal' we
can rely on.
As a Parent Pal, you can be a very valuable resource and support to your
parent. Your involvement with your parent doesn't have to be elaborate,
just consistent and reliable. Email
hugshopeparentpals@yahoo.com
for more information.
Peg sends parents the necessary forms to have their child added to our site. It's her job to see that parents send us all the materials we need, such as letters from doctors, photos of the child, etc. To submit a child to HUGS and HOPE, email Peg at webster52@charter.net
Parents: Please
send brief updates about your child's health by using the
form on this web page: http://www.hugsandhope.org/sendupdate.htm
