HUGS and HOPE For Sick Children
Children fighting for their lives have very little to smile about. You can change that by sending them some "Happy Mail." Cheery cards give these kids a few more smiles, a little more hope, and a reason to get out of bed each day.Experience the satisfaction of making a sick child's day and giving them something to look forward to. Send a card and a hug -- one of the smiles you create just might be your own!
THE HUGS AND HOPE CLUB is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 charity.
An organization that is near and dear to my heart.
My daughter, Becca, has Batten's Disease. I can't buy her health, I can only comfort her and care for her in the short time we have together.And there are other parents out there whose children are critically ill. The HUGS and HOPE Club meets a need that these families have to smile and to remain faith-filled by being a friend and comfort in their time of need.
My response to my daughter's illness is to help create the greatest good possible. So I am donating all proceeds from my book, "Just Because Your Kids Drive you Insane...Doesn't Mean You Are A Bad Parent!" to the HUGS and HOPE Club.
If I can make one child smile or give one family one special moment, it is worth it because I know how they feel and what they are going through.
Won't you please be an angel and find out how you can help children like my Boo and their families?
God bless you!

A Word From The HUGS and HOPE Club Executive Director
Part of the motivation for starting this group was the following plea I heard from a heartbroken mother: "My child is dying. Doesn't anybody care? Won't somebody do something to help me?"I determined that even though I couldn't do much, I could do SOMETHING to help ease the burdens of parents who must watch their little ones suffer. I can at least offer the hand of friendship, share the love of God, and walk with parents through their nightmare.
I created the HUGS and HOPE website to enlist other caring people to join me in befriending these families who need folks to get personally involved in their struggles.
~ Marsha Jordan, Executive Director, The HUGS and HOPE Club
The HUGS and HOPE Foundation for Sick Children is a unique group with a personal approach.
This allows us to meet specific needs of the families we serve. Our simple goal is to bring a little more joy, love, and laughter into the lives of children suffering from critical illness or injuries. What began in 2000 as a disabled grandma's hobby has grown into a nationwide network of over 2500 volunteers who, through prayer, encouragement and "happy mail" have touched the lives of hundreds of children. Our group offers the rare commodity of friendship, which significantly impacts the lives of families in crisis.HUGS and HOPE Programs - Things You Can Do To Help
