Star Light

Jul 31st, 2010

Dealing with a cancer diagnosis or the news that you need an organ transplant is more than enough to test the maturity and emotional stability of a well-adjusted adult, but how does a young child handle such a thing?  Starlight Children’s Foundation’s mission is to help seriously ill children and their families cope with the pain, fear and isolation that comes with fighting such difficult conditions.  One way they do this is by holding special parties that give an ill child and their entire family a break from the day-to-day stresses of hospitals and doctors, and offer the opportunity to just be a kid.
