My Nonprofit Reviews

Starlight Children's foundation has been so great to our family. My Daughter has a spinal cord defect and has had to have numerous back and leg surgeries. She was also diagnosed with Leukemia. When Katie was inpatient for days on end, she was entertained by a game system provided by starlight. The playroom was loaded with board games that were donated by starlight. On days that were miserable playing games would distract her from her pain and help her in healing faster. We were hooked up with starlight through the child life specialist at our hospital. After signing up our whole family was invited to participate in events. These events were so much fun for the kids, they made them all feel special. They were around other kids and their families that have gone through different kinds of health trials and these kids all connect and feel a great bond. Without Starlight this would not be possible. One of my daughters favorite events when they treated a bunch of girls and their mothers to a day spa. The girls were treated like queens for the day and it didn't matter if you were in a wheel chair or you were bald all the kids were treated to a special day. They even rode in a limo that day! My daughter will have those special memories forever. My family enjoys getting to do Starlight events, and it really makes my kids feel special. These are events that with all the stress and medical bills my kids would not be able to do. My kids are getting a great opportunity and Starlight makes this possible and I am truly thankful!
