OUR HOPEDAY PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE OUR HOPEKIDS AND THEIR FAMILY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO RATHER THAN DWELLING ON WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH NOW; CHEMO, HOSPITAL STAYS, SURGERIES, THERAPY ETC. OUR IMPACTS ARE "HOPE AND ANTICIPATION" - KEEPING OUR KIDS FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE, "FAMILY FOCUS" - OUR EVENTS BRING FAMILIES TOGETHER IN SUPPORTIVE ACTIVITIES WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES THREATEN TO RIP THEM APART. OUR EVENTS OFFER FUN FOR ALL FAMILY MEMBERS, ALLOWING THEM TO SPEND MUCH NEEDED TIME TOGETHER, "COMMUNITY & SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS" - OUR HOPEDAY PROGRAM DRAWS MANY FAMILIES TOGETHER IN A UNIQUE, SUPPORTIVE AND RECREATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR CONNECTION, SHARING AND ENCOURAGEMENT. OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES MEET OTHERS JUST LIKE THEM, "SAFETY AND ACCEPTANCE" - IN OUR SUPPORTIVE PEER COMMUNITY NO CHILD IS THE ONLY ONE WEARING A MASK, IS BALD OR USING A WHEELCHAIR. AT HOPEKIDS, EVERYONE IS ACCEPTED AND EVERYONE BELONGS, "ECONOMIC SUPPORT" - ALL OUR EVENTS ARE PRE-ORGANIZED AND AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE TO OUR FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES.
