Funds from donations ease the financial burden of families. Most parents can not afford the travel and living costs to take an ill child and stay with their child until the child is dismissed. Donated funds help with out of town/state travel and living expenses, so their children can receive the most up to date medical treatment, such as, to and from a doctor's office, hospital, transplant and rehabilitation center. It is very important for a parent to be with their child while receiving medical treatment. Why is it important for a parent to be with their child? Imagine yourself as a young and very frightened child… You are separated from all familiar surroundings. You are in an out-of-town/state medical facility or perhaps a transplant center room. You are all alone. You are far, far away from home and the people you love and trust. No one enters your room, except strangers in hospital attire, and you feel very sick. You call your parent's name and they aren't there to comfort you. They can't afford the costs of traveling and living expenses so that they can join you in the city where you are receiving medical treatment(s). Now, imagine yourself as being the parent of this horrified child… You cannot be with your severely ill child when they need you the most. You cannot financially afford to pay for your living expenses so that you may join your child out-of-town/state. You cannot wipe away the tears of your child. You can however, hear your child's cries but you are miles and miles away from them. You feel overwhelmed and helpless because you think that no one can help you. You ache to be with your sick and frightened child. You have only imagined these scenarios. Reality: Families are living these scenarios every day <center> <a href="index.html">[ Back ]</a> </center> </td></tr></table> </center>
