Cards Hospitalized Kids

Thank You! Brightening Days in Big and Small Ways

Hospitalized kids often feel scared, lonely, and different; they also often miss out on simple joys of childhood, such as attending school regularly.  Receiving a card brightens their day, makes them feel special and reminds them they aren’t forgotten.

Thank you again to Paul Philpy and Bill Travis for joining in our April effort to bring more happiness and love to our world by making cards for hospitalized kids.

We’ll definitely schedule more mindful card making time at Sweeping Heart Zen in the future.

Letter Cards Hospitalized Kids

Dear Friends at Sweeping Heart Zen

Thank you so much for the beautiful cards.

Hospitalized kids often feel scared, lonely, and different; they also often miss our on simple joys of childhood, such as attending school regularly.  Receiving a card brightens their day, makes them feel special and reminds them they aren’t forgotten.

I know about the impact of cards not just from giving, but also from receiving. I underwent 20+ surgeries throughout my childhood.  Receiving a hand made card gave me hope during my toughest hospital stay.

The cards are especially meaningful to our regular card-receiving kids, who endure frequent hospital stays due to chronic, life-threatening and/or terminal conditions(s).

It also means a lot to the child’s family, to know someone is wishing them well during the hardest time of their lives.  The family of Ariel, who passed away from cancer, even chose to bury the cards with ariel.

Thanks to people like you, kids at hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses (RMHs) in all 50 states have received our cards.  I hope you will continue making cards to help continue this impact…

Sincerely,

Jen Rubio
